Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seated acupressure massage was developed from a traditional Oriental shiatsu style technique and adapted for use in offices, health clubs, clinics, and hospitals. Hundreds of acupressure points are located throughout the body on meridian lines. These "chi," or energy points, are stimulated with finger and elbow pressure to relieve the physical symptoms of stress, muscle tension, and joint stiffness. Kneading, percussive movements, and mobilization techniques are also used. This approach will balance the flow of energy throughout the body as well as stimulate the muscular, nervous, lymphatic, immune, and circulatory systems, leaving the client calm yet energized and clearly focused. Seated acupressure massage is perfectly adaptable for use in any workplace and in clinics. With the growing demand from employers for practical stress management, the increased earning potential for this therapy is considerable. It is extremely helpful for the following conditions: Backache; Skin conditions; Muscular tension; Repetitive strain injury; Irritable bowel syndrome; Sciatic pain; Asthma; Depression; and Headache Acupressure massage is received through clothing on a comfortable, ergonomically designed chair, offering the maximum benefit to the client in as little as 20 minutes. This practical handbook, fully illustrated with photographs and line drawings of sequences, guides the reader through the history, contraindications, and physical and psychological benefits of seated acupressure massage. The book also provides information to help practitioners market themselves successfully to companies.ssic of Shakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-massage techniques to heal the body, mind, and spirit • Includes self-massage techniques to clear the body’s blocked energy circuits, relieve physical tensions and chronic pain, release trapped emotions, and reduce stress and anxiety • Contains full-color illustrations throughout demonstrating bioharmonic massage, movement, and stretching exercises • Demonstrates how to use common objects to work on hard-to-reach problem areas, including the neck, shoulders, and back, to relieve pain and increase fluidity of movement Drawing upon biological decoding, reflexology, lymph massage, and yoga as well as recent neuroscience and quantum physics research, therapist and kinesiologist Yves Bligny shows how to awaken the body’s natural potential to harmonize energy through the release of tensions and emotional memories trapped within our muscles. He explains how the synergy between the physical body, emotions, thoughts, energy, and consciousness creates a delicate balance, or “bioharmony,” that can be tuned and adjusted through self-massage. Using the power of intention--directed thought aided by expanded awareness of the body--as well as tubes, wands, tennis balls, and other common objects to reach hard-to-massage problem areas, Bligny shows how to take inventory of your body, mind, and memories and use the conscious touch of self-massage to remove energy blockages, release trapped emotions, and relieve anxieties, stress, and muscle tensions as well as gain stability and strength. Effective for chronic back, neck, and shoulder problems, the movements and stretching exercises of bioharmonic self-massage can also be used to increase fluidity of motion, ward off illness, and attain a state of bioharmonic--physical, emotional, mental, and energetic--well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trigger point therapy is one of the fastest-growing and most effective pain therapies in the world. Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve patients’ formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain, both conditions that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits. This book addresses the problem of myofascial trigger points—tiny contraction knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. Restricted circulation and lack of oxygen in these points cause referred pain. Massage of the trigger is the safest, most natural, and most effective form of pain therapy. Trigger points create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe. Trigger point massage increases circulation and oxygenation in the area and often produces instant relief. The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, Third Edition, has made a huge impact among health professionals and the public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field of pain relief. This edition includes a new chapter by the now deceased author, Clair Davies’ daughter, Amber Davies, who is passionate about continuing her father’s legacy. The new edition also includes postural assessments and muscle tests, an illustrated index of symptoms, and clinical technique drawings and descriptions to assist both practitioners and regular readers in assessing and treating trigger points. If you have ever suffered from, or have treated someone who suffers from myofascial trigger point pain, this is a must-have book.
