Customer reviews Positional Release Therapy by .. Carol Nelson (Centralia, WA USA)
This is the most must have, useful book I own. Techniques in this books were used on me by my Physical Therapist. I was on high doses of very strong pain medication. Through techniques used in this book, I no longer need to sleep with a cervical collar, my sciocita is fixed, as well as many other areas of my body that were in constant severe pain. I now take little and no pain medication. Positional Release Therapy along with other simple aids have helped me get back to a more normal life. The book is written so clear that a person without medical knowledge can effectively use the procedures. The good thing is you can't mess something else up by doing it wrong. You follow the directions and pictures until you get it right. Surgery was recommended by doctors on my back and this is now not a necessary option for me.
clinically helpful by .. TbonePT ()
Although I've only taken one strain/counterstrain course (for the extremities) I use this text frequently in the clinic. The photos are clear and I can easily duplicate the positions for the neck/back although I've had no specific course instruction on those areas. Many times the techniques from this book have helped when other things haven't worked. Definitely worth checking this one out.
Easily organizes strain/counterstrain intervention by .. ()
Kerry organizes the concept of strain/counterstrain into an systemic approach that is easy to use and document. His book contains pictures demonstrating each release position with an awareness of the therapists body mechanics. He has done a great service to all physical therapists and osteopaths through this well organizerd work.

Product Description Building on the success of the 1st Edition and its accompanying video, this outstanding how-to manual features up-to-date chapters that cover the latest developments in the field. This osteopathic method focuses on allowing spontaneous physiological release of hypertonic muscles, including those in spasm. The gentleness of positional release techniques, the ease of application, and the potential for instant response are just a few of the benefits to patients, especially in cases of acute spasm and pain. It also allows chronically tense tissues to relax, making it a useful component of integrated therapeutic interventions that employ other soft tissue and joint normalization procedures. A new CD-ROM included FREE with the text offers high-quality video clips demonstrating specific techniques, as well as the entire text of the book in an on-screen, searchable format. Customer reviews Technical  by .. MWF (cambridge ma)
Bought this book on a whim. Its very technical. Probably suitable to a DC or physical therapist.
Havent really read it so cant make a decent judgement.
Useful for the practicing physician and student by .. Joe Cool (Bronx, NY United States)
Pretty good book though I was surprised about the author's comment about the late, great osteopath Larry Jones who actually developed positional release through strain/counterstrain.I remember Larry as being a friendly, helpful chap who was much more flexible regarding his techniques rather than the rigid clinician that the author describes. Regardless, the British Osteopath Chaitow goes into details of the various positional release techniques such as strain/counterstrain, functional release etc. which helps clarifies all the terminology. Chaitow also has a video which is a good acompaniment to the book. Kind of wish I had this for the boards.
It's THE book ! by .. Gustavo Pilon de Angelo (Brazil)
On a very complete way, once more, Chaitow shows on Positional Release Techiniques important ways to restablish functional state of different structure, such as muscle spasm, enhacing circulation and more. A very fine book that will be usefull for many manual trehapists. If you have any doubt, don't wait more, acquire it !
