      Fully updated and revised Orthopedic Massage has been written for those interested in understanding and applying massage as an intervention for soft-tissue disorders. Recent research into the physiological effects of massage has strengthened the justification for its use in the treatment of soft-tissue pain and injury conditions. Orthopedic soft-tissue problems are common among the general population, whether from sports, occupational activities, or chronic pain. This text presents a comprehensive and in-depth look at the physiological nature of these conditions and the massage treatments most effective for their relief. A particular contribution this text makes is its validation for the role of massage in treating orthopedic conditions. In addition, it aims to help the clinician understand the relationship between the soft tissues to which they apply their techniques and the overall orthopedic disorder affecting their clients. Although written chiefly for massage practitioners, the lessons it teaches are relevant to any practitioner who is concerned with the treatment of soft-tissue injuries.

      Fruit de plusieurs années de réflexion et de pratique graphothérapique, cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans la continuité d'un travail d'équipe approfondi sur la mise au point du traitement des dysgraphies. Il reprend en détail la naissance du geste graphique, les conditions de son évolution et les possibilités de restauration de ses perturbations. On aborde ici le « pourquoi » et le « comment » de la graphothérapie, qui repose sur une relation privilégiée entre le rééducateur et le patient. Il faut travailler sur le schéma corporel, la latéralisation, et la relaxation du geste de l'enfant ; le petit dysgraphique apprend ainsi à gérer son énergie, apprivoiser sa respiration, affiner son toucher, tenir correctement son crayon. C'est alors qu'il parviendra peu à peu à discipliner le mouvement de son écriture, et à s'installer à l'aise dans son espace-feuille, pour découvrir enfin le plaisir d'écrire. La graphothérapie refait le travail pédagogique qui précède normalement l'apprentissage de l'écriture et met à la disposition de l'enfant le « modèle calligraphique », qu'il personnalisera à son gré. En effet, il n'est pas question de pratiquer une rééducation sauvage en imposant à l'enfant une écriture qui ne lui appartient pas. Ce manuel didactique qui ouvre de nouvelles pistes de réflexion est au service de tous ceux qui, de près ou de loin, sont concernés par l'écriture des enfants. « Un tel ouvrage manquait. C'est un guide sûr pour praticiens, un outil de travail méthodique et précis… Avec cette recherche originale, un vide est heureusement comblé ». (Robert OLIVAUX)
