    • French
    Dans une première partie, Jean-Pierre Barral et Alain Croibier développent l’arthrosystémique de la colonne vertébrale, un concept novateur qui permet d’approcher la complexité rachidienne. Dans la seconde partie, les auteurs présentent leurs techniques originales et personnelles pour mieux soulager les nombreux patients qui souffrent de cervicalgie. Fruits d’une longue expérience, les manoeuvres décrites sont précises et complètes, aussi bien sur le plan articulaire que péri-articulaire. On ne peut se contenter d’intervenir uniquement au niveau interapophysaire. Les systèmes neural, vasculaire, musculaire, ligamentaire et dure-mèrien, entre autres, doivent faire l’objet de toute l’attention du thérapeute.

In this new edition, the authors have uniquely utilised two fundamental tenets central to all health promotion practice and developed key features from both the World Health Organization’s Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion and the International Union for Health Promotion and Education’s Core Competencies for Health Promotion. Drawing on internationally recognised health promotion frameworks, this text provides an essential toolkit for health promotion theory and practice for students across a broad range of disciplines.
