3.0 out of 5 stars I wish Ward Wrote More, Jan 3 2004
By 
Joe Cool "thedancingcrab" (Bronx, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Myofascial Release Manual (Spiral-bound)
The author brags that Ward, who termed the phrase "myofascial release" and helped popularized it among mainstream American Osteopaths, was one of the co-authors but he only contributes two paragraphs regarding myofascial release. The book describes different techniques for different problems but the reader should be warned: Myofascial release is both clinician and patient dependent, so the book should only be a guide of what you could possibly do. Furthermore, myofascial release involves three parts: compression, traction and twist. The author just describes stretching in her techniques. Because myofascial release is so patient and clinician dependent writing a book on this particular technique is very difficult. The author has not been able to meet the challenge.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Myofascial Release Manual (Hardcover)
This is one of a few books I purchased via Amazon on Myofascia Release therapy. This one is well written. It has many photos but I wish there were more - which would earn it all 5 stars. Highly recommended.
