Il est structuré en 4 parties, rédigée chacune de manière claire et didactique, avec une présentation des contenus sous forme de tableaux, ce qui permet à l'étudiant de trouver, de façon instantanée, l'objet de sa recherche. L'originalité de l'ouvrage tient à son approche régionale hiérarchisée des techniques courantes, dans laquelle sont regroupés différents gestes professionnels, généralement traités de façon séparée, à savoir des éléments de massage, de mobilisation, de sollicitations et d'exercices, dans le cadre d'une démarche progressive et conforme à la pratique des soins. Par ailleurs, certaines techniques particulières : mobilisations passives spécifiques, levées de tension, techniques actives et chaînes musculaires, font l'objet d'une approche spécifique. Enfin de nombreuses photos éclairent de manière didactique, l'ensemble des techniques présentées. L'ouvrage offre également des vidéos en ligne illustrant la partie dynamique des gestes techniques du kinésithérapeute. Pour accéder aux vidéos, cliquez ici.
