The book is in two sections. Section I, written by Chaitow with a contribution by Tom Myers, presents a review of the current understanding of the function of fascia in the human body and describes what can go wrong - the causes and effects of fascial dysfunction and disease, and how to assess the problem and remove obstacles to the success of treatment.
Section II contains chapters by experts in different types of manual therapy including three by Chaitow. Each practitioner describes their own approach to the problem of assessing and treating fascial dysfunction and explains their specialist therapeutic approach. These approaches include: * Bowen Therapy * Connective Tissue Manipulation and Skin Rolling * Fascia oriented training applications in sports and movement therapy * The Fascial Manipulation (R) method applied to low back pain * Fascial Unwinding * Balanced Ligamentous Tension Technique * Gua sha (press-stroking) and Ba guan (cupping): traditional East Asian instrument- assisted manual therapies * Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) * Myofascial Induction Therapy (MIT (R)) * Neuromuscular Technique and associated Soft Tissue Manipulation Modalities * Positional Release Techniques - (including counterstrain) * Global Postural Re-education: Souchard Method * Rolfing (R) Structural Integration * Management of Scars and Adhesions * Manual Matrix Remodeling in myofascial injuries: scar modeling technique * Massage Therapy and Fascia * Trigger Point release methods including dry needling
