    • 1st Edition
    • Ramin Ilbeygui + 1 more
    • French
    Le taping s'est imposé en France comme une méthode de soin particulièrement efficace et rapide des lésions musculaires, ligamentaires ou tendineuses ainsi que des troubles lymphatiques. Cependant, son utilisation et sa mise en oeuvre nécessitent des connaissances précises ; cet ouvrage détaille ainsi, de manière pédagogique et adaptée, la physiologie du taping et ses différentes applications. L'auteur décrit dans une première partie les principes de bases du taping. Il aborde ensuite les techniques de pose habituelles - techniques musculaires, lymphatiques, ligamentaires et de correction posturale – et y ajoute la description de techniques spécifiques comme les montages sur les cicatrices, les trajets nerveux ou les segments, les techniques de correction des fascias, les techniques agissant sur les trigger points et les techniques énergétiques. Les applications cliniques sont ensuite détaillées dans une troisième partie, aussi bien dans les domaines orthopédiques et chirurgicaux qu'en médecine interne, en gynécologie ou en neurologie. L'ouvrage s'appuie sur plus de 740 photographies pour décrire ces techniques. L'atout majeur de ce guide est le body painting étape par étape : - en se basant sur le célèbre Atlas d'anatomie Sobotta, les structures anatomiques ont été peintes avec une grande précision sur le corps d'un modèle ; - les bandes sont alors appliquées sur ces « structures anatomiques sous-jacentes » ; - des explications pas à pas détaillent enfin chaque étape de cette application, donnant ainsi une vision parfaitement claire et précise de la localisation des bandes. Les vidéos de la version originale sont accessibles en ligne, elles permettent de visualiser la pose des bandes pour assimiler parfaitement ces techniques. Cet ouvrage, véritable guide de référence en langue française sur le sujet, est destiné aux kinésithérapeutes ainsi qu'aux médecins du sport, ostéopathes, préparateurs sportifs et podologues.

    • French
    Cet ouvrage situe la juste place de la nutrition dans l'arsenal de la prévention et de la thérapeutique avec l'idée directrice que, bien se nourrir, c'est prévenir et se soigner. Il met en avant le rôle clef que joue l'alimentation dans le bien-être, la prévention et le traitement de nombreuses maladies chroniques ou plus spécifiques. Longtemps empirique ou intuitive, la nutrition s'est hissée au rang d'une discipline scientifique sans rien perdre de sa dimension humaine. Elle occupe à présent une place incontournable dans la prévention de nombreuses maladies. Elle contribue au traitement de diverses pathologies de façon spécifique ou exclusive, en renforçant parfois l'action des traitements pharmacologiques. Aussi, ce livre est-il composé de 2 parties : - La partie "Nutrition préventive" fournit les clés de compréhension et de mise ne place d'une alimentation saine et équilibrée, favorable au maintien de l'état de santé. Elle détaille à la fois les aliments et leurs constituants, les contaminants, les modes alimentaires et leurs effets sur la santé, ainsi que les bases de la prévention des pathologies et des besoins particuliers. - La partie "Nutrition thérapeutique" décrit les outils nécessaires pour l'évaluation et l'assistance nutritionnelles dans certaines pathologies chroniques et délivre les principes de la prescription nutritionnelle. La justification et la mise en œuvre de tous les régimes alimentaires particuliers , leurs indications et leurs limites y sont largement développées. Ce livre, qui propose une approche globale résultant de l'état des connaissances médicales et scientifiques actuelles, s'adresse à tout professionnel de santé concerné par l'équilibre alimentaire et l'adaptation nutritionnelle.
