Fascial Stretch Therapy - Second Edition

A good presentation of the topic and useful details and photos to assist stretch working. For therapists to apply to clients not a self stretch approach

Les illustrations et informations sont très complètes et bien faits.

ann + chris frederick are true innovators of our time and we are so fortunate to have this dynamic pair available to us. their passion, energy and devotion to this work is contagious!in a world where we push, push, push - fascial stretch therapy (fst) brings both client and therapist back to body awareness and to a place where we tune in again - this is where the magic happens, when we listen to our bodies. the words, 'no pain, no gain' DO NOT apply here.in my 10 year career as a massage therapist, i have seen time and time again that once a client is off the table and gravity and old movement patterns take over all that work is quickly gone. personally, i had always hoped for more lasting change for my clients. and this IS possible with fst (not to mention, much easier on you as a therapist).as an acupuncturist, i have found that the combining fst with acupuncture makes INCREDIBLE and lasting changes. treating the fascia is the key to making structural and constitutional changes.if you are currently an fst practitioner, this is an invaluable resource to have in your library. continuous study of this material will enable you to gain a greater understanding of this work, which will translate into much more effective treatments for your client. the book is as well structured as the therapy itself. it contains theory, positioning of client and therapist, movement goals and cue's. it's like having your fst manuals in one beautiful color photo'd package. :)if you are a therapist who has been wondering how you can create a bigger impact on the overall well being of your client, fst is a game changer. BUT, don't just read the book - invest in the training. the return both personally and professionally is life changing. not to mention 100% necessary. the magic is in the details and you have the opportunity to learn from the creators. who, by the way, are ALL about the details. i encourage you to experience this for yourself and most importantly to maintain the integrity of this great work.

Great book on fst. Would recommend to all starters

This Stretch to Win book is much more than a book on traditional stretching. Chris and Ann break down the ins and outs of mobility that only could be discovered when a stretch therapist and physical therapist join forces. They take all traditional effect techniques on stretching, joint mobilization, and assessment and put a stretch to win spin to it. These powerful techniques have skyrocketed my success in my clinic in Santa Barbara. Pain issues I used to work so hard to get rid of are going away with ease.There is no Manuel therapy book out there with such power. I suggest getting together with another therapist and learning this material. It sets me apart from all other therapist in my area and has giving me a huge boost financially.Just the other day, a client that had pain when sitting walked out of my office with a deep squat and no pain. I would of previously pressed on the hip flexors to give relief but now that I know hip mobility techniques, I tractioned and cleared the joint and fixed the issue in minutes. Thank you Ann and Chris

Good read
