    • English
    Since the third edition of Grieve’s Modern Manual Therapy was published in 2005, the original concepts of manipulative therapy have grown to embrace new research-generated knowledge. Expansions in practice have adopted new evidence which include consideration of psychological or social moderators. The original manual therapy or manipulative therapy approaches have transformed into musculoskeletal physiotherapy and this is recognized by the change in title for the new edition – Grieve’s Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Grieve’s Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy continues to bring together the latest state-of-the-art research, from both clinical practice and the related basic sciences, which is most relevant to practitioners. The topics addressed and the contributing authors reflect the best and most clinically relevant contemporary work within the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy. With this as its foundation and a new six-strong editorial team at its helm, the fourth edition now expands its focus from the vertebral column to the entire musculoskeletal system. For the first time both the spine and extremities are covered, capturing the key advances in science and practices relevant to musculoskeletal physiotherapy. The book is divided into five parts containing multiple sections and chapters. The first part looks at advances in the sciences underpinning musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice. Here there is commentary on topics such as movement, the interaction between pain and motor control as well as neuromuscular adaptations to exercise. Applied anatomical structure is covered in addition to the challenges of lifestyle and ageing. A new section highlights the important area of measurement and presents the scope of current and emerging measurements for investigating central and peripheral aspects relating to pain, function and morphological change. Another section discusses some contemporary research approaches such as quantitative and qualitative methods as well as translational research. Part III contains sections on the principles of and broader aspects of management which are applicable to musculoskeletal disorders of both the spine and periphery. Topics include models for management prescription, communication and pain management and contemporary principles of management for the articular, nervous and sensorimotor systems. In recognition of the patient centred and inclusive nature of contemporary musculoskeletal practice, there is also discussion about how physiotherapists may use cognitive behavioural therapies when treating people with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The final part of the book focuses on selected contemporary issues in clinical practice for a particular region, condition or the most topical approaches to the diagnosis and management of a region. A critical review of the evidence (or developing evidence) for approaches is given and areas for future work are highlighted.

  • Homéopathie en gynécologie

    • French
    Les motifs de consultation en gynécologie sont souvent d'origine fonctionnelle (périodes de déséquilibre hormonal : puberté, syndrome prémenstruel, périménopause, troubles du cycle…) et ne relèvent pas toujours d'un traitement allopathique souvent lourd et iatrogène. Les praticiens sont confrontés au quotidien à une demande croissante des patientes pour les traitements homéopathiques. Cet ouvrage, fruit de l'expérience clinique de deux gynécologues homéopathes, est un guide pratique permettant aux praticiens d'intégrer la thérapeutique homéopathique en gynécologie. Après un premier chapitre sur l'homéopathie et son mode d'emploi, ce livre se présente comme un ouvrage de gynécologie abordant les différentes pathologies et motifs de consultation. Il détaille pour chaque pathologie les indications de prescription (quand et pourquoi choisir les médicaments homéopathiques et comment les prescrire) et les limites de ces traitements. Des encadrés Les Essentiels ont été ajoutés pour les pathologies les plus courantes afin de permettre un accès rapide à l'information. En fin d'ouvrage, un chapitre « Matière médicale » reprend l'origine des médicaments les plus souvent prescrits en gynécologie, en partant de leur indication gynécologique et en rappelant leurs autres indications. Ce guide est conçu à la fois pour les gynécologues et les sages-femmes débutant en homéopathie. Il s'adresse aussi aux homéopathes souhaitant se perfectionner dans le domaine de la gynécologie. Il est le premier ouvrage de référence pour une pratique de l'homéopathie moderne et actualisée dans le domaine de la gynécologie.

  • La motilité en ostéopathie. Nouveau concept basé sur l'embryologie
    • 1st Edition
    • Alain Auberville + 1 more
    • French
    La motilité, associée à la présence de la vitalité dans les tissus du corps humain, est un concept de base en ostéopathie. Ce livre propose une définition simple et systématique de la motilité basée sur les déplacements de toutes les structures du corps pendant la période de l'embryogénèse. Ces mouvements initiaux, intrinsèques à l'énergie des tissus, répondent à l'essence de la définition de la motilité et, à ce titre, sont une composante essentielle du mouvement normal des tissus du corps. L'ostéopathe peut utiliser ces notions fondamentales dans ses interventions cliniques afin d'enrichir son arsenal thérapeutique et d'approfondir sa compréhension des fondements de l'ostéopathie et du fonctionnement de l'humain. Illustré de façon originale, ce livre présente un nouveau modèle de pratique qui a été conçu par Alain Auberville à la suite de 30 ans d'expérimentations et de transmission par l'enseignement. Mis en texte par Andrée Aubin, ce modèle a été relié aux concepts ostéopathiques classiques afin de faciliter son intégration dans la pratique clinique quotidienne.

    Traitement physiothérapique en Rééducation Posturale Globale-RPG
    • 1st Edition

    • French
    Les problèmes morphologiques de la colonne vertébrale sont universels. Ils ne font que croître, avec les professions modernes, favorisés en particulier par la position assise et la projection de la tête en avant, lorsqu´elle s´accompagne de la nécessité de fixer visuellement son attention. On estime, à l´heure actuelle, qu´en cas de douleur vertébrale, une mauvaise posture est impliquée dans 80% des cas. S´appuyant sur les acquis de la Rééducation Posturale Globale-RPG, basés sur la rétraction des muscles à vocation particulièrement statique et sur la notion de globalité et de synergie qu´imposent les systèmes intégrés de coordination neuromusculaire contrôlant l´équilibre, cet ouvrage propose des explications logiques et étayées aux différents dysmorphismes du rachis vertébral : cypholordoses, scolioses etc. Les principes des « postures de traitement » et d´intégration proposés en constituent la conclusion naturelle. Cet ouvrage s´adresse à tous les professionnels de la santé, en particulier physiothérapeutes, confrontés quotidiennement aux pathologies vertébrales.

Conçu comme un guide, cet ouvrage présente l'originalité de s'adresser spécifiquement aux ostéopathes. Il se donne pour objectif de rassembler les connaissances nécessaires à une approche pratique de l'imagerie médicale. Fonctionnel, ludique et didactique, ce guide vise à : – favoriser la communication interdisciplinaire, la communication avec le patient et la compréhension des éléments radiologiques, en apportant les notions utiles de technologie et de technique ; – proposer une méthodologie d'analyse courante des clichés vus en cabinet, c'est-à-dire reprendre les notions de critères de qualité d'une image, la recherche des différents points d'analyse, les notions de pièges diagnostiques ; – éveiller le praticien à la notion de « diagnostic ostéopathique radiologique » (DRO) et aboutir à une utilisation en routine de celui-ci. Les notions sont abordées par région anatomique et incidence par incidence. Ce guide d'imagerie intéressera les ostéopathes en formation ainsi que les professionnels en exercice.
