Alberta announces more detox beds, expanded treatment options for opioid addicts

Between office visits

As practitioners, we can provide our patients with tools to foster body awareness, a sense of control over pain and suffering, that can be self-applied at any time of day, and improve pliability of soft-tissues until the day we do get our hands on them again. Patients need a self-applied method that addresses muscular pain and stiffness in between office visits.


Nobility in mobility

Postural Assessment

Though postural assessment is a skill required by most therapists and useful for many health and fitness professionals, few resources offer a complete discussion of the topic to support practitioners in the task. Postural Assessment is a guide to determining muscular or fascial imbalance and whether that imbalance contributes to a patient’s or client’s pain or dysfunction.

Information in the text is enhanced with detailed illustrations that offer visual cues to learning postural assessment and identifying anatomical relationships. Line drawings illustrate bony landmarks used in the assessments, and numerous photos show both obvious and subtle postural variations. >> Order Now!
