A clinical reference manual for the evaluation and treatment of muscle pain

- Contains detailed illustrations of pain patterns and trigger-point locations

Myofascial pain syndromes are among the fastest growing problems that physicians, osteopaths, acupuncturists, and physical, occupational, and massage therapists encounter in their patients. In Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain Donna and Steven Finando have organized vast amounts of information on treating myofascial pain into an accessible user's manual for healthcare practitioners. They examine a wide range of pain patterns and present evaluation and palpation techniques for reducing trigger points--and thereby alleviating pain--in the most clinically significant musculature of the body.

This comprehensive yet easy-to-use reference guide to treatment of muscle pain begins with chapters on the concept of Qi and its relationship to myology, specific trigger point location and activation, and palpatory skill-building techniques. Subsequent sections provide detailed information on each muscle to teach clinicians to locate quickly and accurately individual points of pain and compensation. A visual index allows easy identification of the muscles that may be involved. Trigger Point Therapy for Myofascial Pain provides necessary and invaluable information for sufferers and any professional involved with myofascial disorders.

Recognizing that certain medical terms can be challenging to grasp, we have intentionally opted for plain and easily understandable language when conveying medical concepts.

Energetic massage techniques that dispel negative emotions, relieve stress, and strengthen the senses, internal organs, and nervous system

- Shows how Chi Massage employs one's own internal energy to promote rejuvenation

- Presents Chi Massage techniques for every organ and bodily system

- Provides a daily practice routine that requires only 5 to 10 minutes to complete

The Western concept of massage primarily concerns muscle manipulation. In the practice of Chi Massage, internal energy, or Chi, is manipulated to strengthen and rejuvenate the sense organs--eyes, ears, nose, tongue, teeth, and skin--and the internal organs. The Taoist techniques in this practice are more than 5,000 years old and, until very recently, were closely guarded secrets passed down from master to student with each master often knowing only a small part of the complete method.

In Chi Self-Massage Master Mantak Chia pieces together the entire system of Chi Massage into a logical routine, revealing the methods used by Taoist masters to maintain their youthfulness. He explains the energetic theory behind Chi Massage and how negative emotions affect the organs and nervous system. By practicing the exercises outlined and following the daily routine that requires only 5 to 10 minutes to complete, readers can strengthen their senses--most notably vision, hearing, and taste--detoxify their internal organs and glands, help control negative emotions, relieve stress and constipation, and improve their complexion, teeth and gums, and overall stamina.

Fang Scalp Acupuncture is an award-winning acupuncture microsystem that integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine with neuroscience. Developed in the 1960s by Dr. Fang Yun Peng (方雲鵬) and his son Dr. Fang Ben Zheng (方本正), the Fang microsystem allows a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to adjust the body's Qi flow directly through the central nervous system. It yields quick results and is proven to be effective on a broad spectrum of acute and chronic diseases.

Dr. Ching Ching Chi, PhD, L.Ac. studied extensively with Dr. Fang Ben Zheng beginning in 2007. She has since dedicated her clinical practice to the application of the Fang microsystem in accordance with Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, which she calls her Unified Principles (UP) Method. Now, in efforts to propagate this tool, she has begun to standardize and teach the Fang microsystem as she understands and applies it in her clinic every day.

This is the first book about Fang Scalp Acupuncture in English, and the first book to present the Fang microsystem as never seen before with clear images and descriptions of the Fang microsystem, treatment points and patterns. It introduces the Fang microsystem theory, and teaches the fundamentals for the successful application by any Traditional Chinese Medicine student or practitioner.

In this short practical guide, we are going to focus upon the top ten essential trigger points, trigger points which can be used in everyday life by the majority of people. Some of the deeper trigger points, seen deep inside the thigh and pelvis, can be a little hard to reach but for most people, with some effort, they should be either able to treat themselves or if necessary a friend or family member should be able to treat them effectively, through manipulation of the relevant trigger points. Can we Really Treat Ourselves? Trigger points are atypically deployed by physical therapists, osteopaths, naturopaths and masseurs. So considering all of these people are highly qualified, and of course they are standing over the patient, where they can apply considerable force, is there any point in trying to treat ourselves? Well, obviously we cannot expect the same result, while working on ourselves, than that which we might receive if we go to a professional therapist. However, just because the result will be less effective, does not mean that we cannot give it a go. Also, treating oneself, in no way diminishes the role of the therapist. Rather, it makes the role of the therapist more meaningful, because a patient, who takes an active interest in their treatment and makes an effort to assist the healing process, while in the comfort of their own home, is actually making the healing effort more effective and is more likely to return to a therapist for further assistance.

Learn eighteen (18) of the best pure essential oils to use for their potent antimicrobial properties, actions and effects, along with the botanical species to use for boosting natural immunity and to support your immune response.

You'll also learn about the research findings and be given detailed explanations for why each of the recommended essential oils are so effective for natural immunity, as well as how essential oils stimulate the immune response and support a healthy immune system.

Additional helpful information about the variety of other benefits and uses for each essential oil is also noted.

ANTIMICROBIAL

As a whole essential oils tend to be potent anti-microbial agents as their parent plants have a vested interest in killing bugs, fungus, bacteria and other tiny microbes. This motivation manifests in the plant excretions which are essential oils. As a result essential oils have the ability to break down microbial bio fields that are stubborn and resistant to many antibiotics.

ADAPTOGENIC

Many of the recommended antimicrobial oils are adaptogenic meaning they have a regulating effect on the body's responses to keep them in balance, or when they've gotten out of balance as in the case of illness.

What are the secrets of mugwort and moxibustion? This book will be your guide.

- Lorraine Wilcox

First published in 2012, The Moon Over Matsushima was a journey of exploration filled with unexpected twists and turns. It unveiled the ancient relationship between acupuncture and moxa and explored the nature and biochemistry of mugwort. It reviewed various traditional treatment approaches and examined their potential mechanisms. Most importantly, it proposed compelling possibilities for this humble therapy in the modern era.

In this stunning second edition, revised and extended, these proposals have been transformed into clinical realities with extensive new research from the Moxafrica project launching moxa into front line primary care in respect of TB, a modern plague. In a groundbreaking extended section, Young also explores cutting edge research from the pharmaceutical industry that may unexpectedly revolutionise our understanding and practice of moxibustion today. He explains the mysteries of Transient Receptor Potential Ion Channels, their connection to chronic disease and pain, and their remarkable affinity for mugwort and the heat signature of moxibustion, as well as its key chemical components.

This thought provoking second edition will challenge and expand your understanding of moxa - concerning not just its use in the past, but also its potentials in both the present day and into the future.

This is a unique book. A breathtaking vista of information and perspectives.

Practical support for the trauma of losses, from large to small

- Explains how CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release can help you through the common traumas of the life cycle, from birth to death

- Shares techniques and exercises to help process emotions and experiences, assess the functionality of the body's systems and energetic framework, and recognize and transform destructive energies into constructive processes

- Looks at how to enhance CST techniques with other protocols, including the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' stages of grief

Loss, abandonment, separation, and grief--many of life's most challenging experiences--are also the most common. But the trauma created by these experiences does not need to hold us back in life. As Diego Maggio shows, we can use the techniques of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and SomatoEmotional Release (SER) to understand, address, and overcome the stress that traumatic events cause and transform the painful experiences inherent in life into opportunities for growth and expanded awareness.

Sharing Dr. Upledger's techniques and his own innovative applications of CST and SER across 20 years of practice, Maggio presents tools and exercises to facilitate your inner self-healing mechanisms and support yourself and others through the stages of grief and bereavement following a loss--whether the loss is large or one of the small deaths, such as losing a job or ending a relationship. The author explores all of the biological and energetic evolutionary stages of the life cycle through the lens of CST and shares manual therapy techniques and self-help exercises to process emotions and experiences, assess the energetic framework of the body and the chakras, and recognize and transform destructive energies into constructive processes. He looks at how to combine CST techniques with other protocols for managing the grieving process, including the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's stages of grief. He also explores how CST and SER techniques can help support the dying and those around them in the process of transition.

Revealing how CranioSacral Therapy can help us integrate challenges and traumas whether recent or long past, Maggio shows how our experiences can give us the opportunity to evolve and grow as we journey through the beautiful cycles of life.
