Myofascial Release (Hands-On Guides for Therapists)

An excellent job of explaining MFR and user friendly so the layman can become familiar with techniques before seeking treatment. MFR is the paradigm shift people are making to totally help themselves live a more joyful and productive life without so many medications!!! Recommend it to anyone who has been living with discomfort or a decrease in their enjoyment of life and abilities in doing daily living skills!

Good advice and simple instruction.

An excellent introduction to fascia and Myofascial Release. The explanations are easy to understand and the photos of the techniques greatly enhance the descriptions. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning about Myofascial Release. But, then it is important to learn the hands on techniques from a teacher who is very experienced in teaching how to do it effectively. This is a good resource book to have in the office.

This book approaches myofascial release from the intake form all the way though treatment. The images are very helpful and, even though a massage therapy background will help, the writing itself is easy to understand. I look forward to referring to this book over and over in my own practice.

Great discriptions. Great pictures. Everything is easy to follow and allows the therapist many options with how to work!

This is a very good buy. The various myofascial release techniques are explained and practical examples are given. Attending a myofascial release techniques workshop would enhance the gains of the book. I went to a workshop and was able to consolidate what I had learnt through reading this book

Super fast shipping. I am very impressed.

Very concise and easy to read. Already applying tips from this book into my practice. Will become a go-to reference for me going forward.

This book compliments all of MFR uk courses and is a must for anyone wanting to know more about fascia. Not only do you have pictorial guides for techniques, the description of what you as a therapist feel under your hands is so astoundingly accurate and so eloquently described. It can sometimes be difficult to explain what you feel but Ruth is amazing, providing powerful descriptions of what you feel with a kinaesthetic touch. She also provides detailed scientific information addressing the what, why and how of myofascial release.This book is easy to divulge and has fast become my 'reference' book, providing tips, and guidance to therapists under 'Client talk' sections along with quesitons and answers for each chapter, for you to confirm you have grasped all the elements of that topic.In essence the book provides a descriptive entire treatment approach to clients issues.In the words from the preface of the book 'Myofascial therpists take time to listen to their clients and may be the only therapist who use their hands to feel what is creating pain and discomfort.' This book undoubtedly is a tool to help you along that journey.

Recommended to me by a student trained by Ruth Duncan, this book is a must for practitioners and patients wanting to understand more about MFR. And as I have come to know, the fascia is something still overlooked by orthodox medicine, but is becoming increasingly recognized and addressed with phenomenal results.

As a therapists this book has given me a name to some of the things I seem to be doing intuitively. I have tried some moves on clients as I read it with great results and encouraged me to go on a course to learn more. I have been researching about fascial tissue and already work with it this book answered some questions. Some bits are very basic and repetitive but I assume it may want to include non therapist.

Very clear photos and well presented with good information easily understood

Love it. I now understand what my teacher taught me in the 80’s
