Myofascial Release, Second Edition, With HKPropel Online Video, presents a dynamic approach to fascial and soft tissue work, suitable for all students embarking on a career in hands-on therapy, as well as experienced therapists looking to add skills to their treatments. Ruth Duncan, an advanced myofascial release therapist, proprietor, instructor, lecturer, national committee member, and John F. Barnes protégé, shares her expertise to offer in-depth descriptions of myofascial techniques and their applications. This scientifically grounded approach presents an overview of the entire fascial matrix, the three-dimensional web of tissue that supports every other structure in the body. The explanation of the anatomy and function of the connective tissue system gives practitioners the solid background needed to treat muscle injury, immobility, and pain. The book also outlines how myofascial release relates to other massage modalities, allowing therapists to incorporate a range of treatments. Descriptions of over 60 myofascial techniques contain details on the timing, direction, and hold of each stretch, as well as numerous photographs that illustrate the body and hand positions of each technique. Nuanced explanations of the unique feel of soft tissue help the therapist enhance their palpation skills. The therapist learns how to apply the best approach (cross-hand releases, longitudinal plane releases, compression releases, and transverse plane releases) on specific injuries or issues. A new chapter on scar tissue details how practitioners can relieve the pain and tension common in surgical and other types of scars. The text also contains home programs that clients can use themselves between treatment sessions.
Myofascial Release, Second Edition, includes special features such as:
• An expanded section on the anatomy and physiology of fascia, providing a deeper understanding of the tissue's role in the body.
• Detailed illustrations of fascial anatomy and physiology, including new color photographs to enhance visual understanding.

• An expanded section on self-care and prevention, offering advice on how to maintain healthy fascia and prevent injuries.
• Access to an online video library featuring over 100 myofascial release techniques, demonstrating their application in real-world scenarios.
Whether you are a student looking to expand your knowledge and skills in manual therapy or an experienced therapist seeking to enhance your treatments, Myofascial Release, Second Edition, With HKPropel Online Video, is an essential resource for achieving optimal results.
