Description
Direct Release Myofascial Technique provides a highly illustrated guide to direct release myofascial techniques (MFR) and their application
in clinical practice. MFR is a manual therapy method that influences both a body's structural tissues and the sensory/motor systems.
Originally developed by Dr Ida Rolf, the creator of the Rolfing? method, the approach has since been adapted and modified by different
groups of therapists to fit within their own particular philosophies. This book strips away the surrounding theories and philosophies
and focuses on the safe and appropriate use of the techniques themselves. Numerous photographs supplement the detailed, step-by-step
coverage of techniques.
Audience
Massage therapists. Osteopaths. Chiropractors. Manipulative physiotherapists. All bodyworkers (eg Rolfers, sports therapists etc).
Students and practitioners for all groups.
