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.

Les maladies chroniques sont de plus en plus nombreuses et présentent entre elles des points communs : intolérance à l'effort, retentissement psychosocial, inflammation systémique, voire musculaire…. Les patients souffrant de broncho-pneumopathie chronique obstructive (BPCO) sont pris dans un cercle vicieux : leur maladie entraînant un essoufflement pour des efforts de plus en plus limités, les patients réduisent leur activité physique et se sédentarisent, ce qui aggrave l'essoufflement et altère leur qualité de vie. La réhabilitation du malade respiratoire chronique, qui met en place un accompagnement centré sur le patient et adapté à son projet et lieu de vie, permet de sortir de ce cercle vicieux. Au-delà du traitement pharmacologique, les auteurs réunis dans cet ouvrage proposent un programme de réhabilitation fondé sur l'activité physique et l'éducation thérapeutique, dont les résultats ont été analysés en termes de « médecine fondée sur les preuves ». L'objectif de ce livre rigoureux et très pratique est de présenter les bases fondamentales, l'évaluation du malade respiratoire chronique, la prise en charge somatique, l'accompagnement psychosocial ainsi que l'organisation de la réhabilitation. Composé de 31 chapitres, il réunit des spécialistes français, canadiens, belges, suisses, tunisiens. Il intéressera les pneumologues, les médecins généralistes, les infirmiers, les kinésithérapeutes, les spécialistes en activité physique adaptée et plus largement tous les professionnels de la santé confrontés aux maladies chroniques.
