Description
*Fascial Stretching* describes and explains the unique manual treatment method known as Fascial Stretch Therapy™, developed by Ann and Chris Frederick. The method specifically addresses neuromyofascial imbalances and disorders and is now recognised as a fast-acting and effective therapy for restoring and maintaining a healthy nervous, muscular, skeletal and fascial system.
This handbook for trainers and therapists provides a thorough yet accessible explanation of how the method works, how it differs from other fascial treatments, and how it can be applied to all areas of the musculoskeletal system.
Numerous colour photographs illustrate the techniques. The assessment process is explained in detail, enabling the therapist to assess their clients’ needs and plan an effective treatment programme. To further enhance the success of the therapy, the book also demonstrates how fascial stretching can be integrated into a comprehensive manual treatment programme.
