  • Reeducación postural global

    RPG. El método
    • 1st Edition
    • Philippe Souchard
    • Spanish
    La "Reeducación Postural Global" (RPG) es un concepto elaborado y promovido desde hace más de treinta años por Philippe Souchard, quien en esta obra propone un manual completo y exhaustivo de su método, tanto desde el punto de vista de sus fundamentos como de su puesta en práctica. Este manual es el resultado de treinta años de evolución del método RPG. El autor hace un repaso de la fisiología y de la fisiopatología de la función muscular estática, y añade avances en biomecánica, fruto de su observación y estudio. El trabajo de síntesis reunido en este libro permite identificar claramente la responsabilidad de la retracción muscular en las patologías músculo-esqueléticas... ya sean morfológicas o lesiónales, y propone un tratamiento original de las disfunciones musculares. Tras una primera parte dedicada a los fundamentos fisiológicos de los músculos estáticos y los mecanismos del equilibrio, el autor expone la metodología propiamente dicha: los principios del tratamiento (alargamiento de los músculos, puesta en tensión) y las reglas de aplicación terapéutica. Al final de la obra, se exponen algunas secuencias de auto-postura preventiva, dirigidas a la propia educación del paciente. La obra está dirigida a fisioterapeutas, kinesioterapeutas y todos aquellos profesionales que aplican terapias manuales.

    The science and clinical applications in manual and movement therapy
    • 1st Edition
    • Peter Huijing + 2 more
    • English
    This book is the product of an important collaboration between clinicians of the manual therapies and scientists in several disciplines that grew out of the three recent International Fascia Research Congresses (Boston, Amsterdam, and Vancouver). The book editors, Thomas Findley MD PhD, Robert Schleip PhD, Peter Huijing PhD and Leon Chaitow DO, were major organizers of these congresses and used their extensive experience to select chapters and contributors for this book. This volume therefore brings together contributors from diverse backgrounds who share the desire to bridge the gap between theory and practice in our current knowledge of the fascia and goes beyond the 2007, 2009 and 2012 congresses to define the state-of-the-art, from both the clinical and scientific perspective. Prepared by over 100 specialists and researchers from throughout the world, Fascia: The Tensional Network of the Human Body will be ideal for all professionals who have an interest in fascia and human movement - physiotherapists, osteopathic physicians, osteopaths, chiropractors, structural integration practitioners, manual therapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, yoga or Pilates instructors, exercise scientists and personal trainers - as well as physicians involved with musculoskeletal medicine, pain management and rehabilitation, and basic scientists working in the field.
