Chaque photographie, particulièrement soignée, est accompagnée d’un texte décrivant la technique d’approche (TA) qui permet au lecteur de retrouver immanquablement la structure recherchée. Chaque fois que nécessaire, les rappels anatomiques indispensables à une bonne application des techniques d’approche (insertions, actions, innervation) sont mentionnés. Entièrement refondue, mise à jour et augmentée, cette 5e édition offre au lecteur un nouveau schéma de lecture conforme aux programmes d’enseignement avec une ventilation par structure puis par région anatomiques. Une nouvelle maquette facilite le repérage dans l’ouvrage. À la fois manuel de référence et guide méthodologique, cet atlas s’adresse aussi bien aux étudiants qu’aux praticiens en kinésithérapie, ostéopathie, chiropraxie et podologie. Les photographies, à la fois artistique et technique, permettent une meilleure mise en relief des structures anatomiques recherchées.

Grounded in scientific and clinical evidence, this highly illustrated new guide gives an introduction to the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders using the Fascial Manipulation (FM) method developed by Luigi Stecco – the foremost scientifically valid method of evaluating and treating fascial dysfunction. It describes FM’s history, anatomy and physiology of fasciae, indications and contraindications, mechanisms of action, and details of the subjective and physical techniques used to manage disorders. A Practical Guide to Fascial Manipulation focuses on concepts around evaluating the fascia based on functional testing, movement and direction in specific spatial planes, and the location of specific areas to treat safely. With an emphasis throughout on accessible practical information, the book is also supported by a website – www.guidefascial.com – containing procedural video clips and an image bank.
