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 dans l'ouvrage. Ce livre offre également des vidéos en ligne illustrant la partie dynamique des gestes techniques du kinésithérapeute. Ces compléments sont accessibles sur http://www.em-consul...
