| back muscles diagram for massage: The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook Clair Davies, Amber Davies, 2013-09-01 Trigger point therapy is one of the fastest-growing and most effective pain therapies in the world. Medical doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists are all beginning to use this technique to relieve patients’ formerly undiagnosable muscle and joint pain, both conditions that studies have shown to be the cause of nearly 25 percent of all doctor visits. This book addresses the problem of myofascial trigger points—tiny contraction knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured or overworked. Restricted circulation and lack of oxygen in these points cause referred pain. Massage of the trigger is the safest, most natural, and most effective form of pain therapy. Trigger points create pain throughout the body in predictable patterns characteristic to each muscle, producing discomfort ranging from mild to severe. Trigger point massage increases circulation and oxygenation in the area and often produces instant relief. The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, Third Edition, has made a huge impact among health professionals and the public alike, becoming an overnight classic in the field of pain relief. This edition includes a new chapter by the now deceased author, Clair Davies’ daughter, Amber Davies, who is passionate about continuing her father’s legacy. The new edition also includes postural assessments and muscle tests, an illustrated index of symptoms, and clinical technique drawings and descriptions to assist both practitioners and regular readers in assessing and treating trigger points. If you have ever suffered from, or have treated someone who suffers from myofascial trigger point pain, this is a must-have book. |

| back muscles diagram for massage: Massage Yourself Rowland Benjamin, 2022-09-20 Massage Yourself is concerned with self-treatment, self-help and personal empowerment and describes a remedial massage system where you massage yourself. The book focuses on specific muscles without unnecessary repetition. It covers two main types of technique: kneading and friction, and explains which muscles, tendons and ligaments are being massaged, where they are located, which part of your hand or massage tool is best to use and it explains how to do the massage technique. It is clear, easy to read, user friendly and contains hundreds of photographs and line drawings showing massage techniques for every part of the body, as well as anatomy illustrations and provides bullet points, which take you through the techniques step-by-step. Self-massage can complement treatment by helping to fix problems or remove the need for treatment by preventing health problems developing. The book is useful for anyone who works with their own body, including manual workers, musicians, dancers, yoga students, personal trainers, sports coaches, athletes and sports people, or anyone who works on other people’s bodies including masseurs, osteopaths, physiotherapists, chiropractors, manual therapists, yoga teachers, naturopaths, medical doctors, exercise physiologists, Pilates and aerobics teachers. Self-massage can reduce treatment time and improve the health and efficiency of your muscles, tendons and ligaments without the need for expensive equipment, and once learned, can be used safely at home. It is especially useful when lots of short sessions of treatment are needed but are inconvenient for the patient. A patient can be working on his or her problem between treatments. Working from home can be so much easier and time saving. Massage Yourself is divided into introduction, techniques and appendix. The introduction defines some of the key terms, goals and concepts around self-massage, explains how massage works and how it can be used. It discusses the difference between massage and self-massage and the pros and cons of self-massage. It looks at the dozen or so places on the hand from where contact and pressure is applied to the soft tissues and the three massage tools recommended in this book: the two rubber balls in a net, the tightly rolled-up towel and the wadi, and indications and contraindication for their use. It explains the purpose of the techniques and the differences between them. The introduction also looks at other types of massage, as well as anatomy, ergonomics, the working environment, palpation (the art and skill of feeling soft tissues), props, the ideal routine, side effects and as well it provides tips on how to do self-massage, especially for first time users. It lists medical conditions requiring caution and looks at how gravity, lifestyle, genetics and the curvatures of the spine affect posture. The technique section is divided into part A jaw and spine, part B upper limb and part C lower limb and contains the massage techniques, including the starting positions (standing, sitting on a chair, laying on your back or kneeling on the floor) and the actions needed for the execution of the technique. This main section works through the soft tissues of the body in the following order: jaw, suboccipital, cervical and thoracic spine, ribs, lumbar and sacroiliac spine, shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, hip, thigh, knee, leg, ankle and foot. The appendix contains a glossary of anatomical terms used in this book. I have used words that everyone can understand, but in a technical book like this some words will inevitably fall outside the domain of common usage. When these words needed to be explained they were added to the list in the appendix. Also in the appendix is a list of muscles and their actions. Each joint is listed, followed by its of movement and the muscles that produce that movement. |

| back muscles diagram for massage: Chi Nei Ching Mantak Chia, William U. Wei, 2013-11-04 Fully illustrated guide to massage techniques for unblocking chi, releasing tight tendons and muscles, and alleviating back and joint pain • Explains the hammering massage technique of Tok Sen, which sends vibrational energy deep into the fascia and muscles • Details how to use the 10 Thai energy meridians known as Sen Sib and the 12 muscle-tendon meridians of Chinese acupuncture in massage • Explains Meridian Detox Therapy and Gua Sha, which clears blood stagnation, promotes metabolism, and can prevent and treat acute illness Good health depends on the free flow of life-force energy, chi, throughout the entire body. The accumulation of tensions in the muscles and tendons as well as the stagnation of negative energy can lead to blockages in the body’s energy channels, resulting in pain, low energy, or illness. In this full-color illustrated guide, Master Mantak Chia and William Wei detail massage techniques for unblocking chi, releasing tight tendons and muscles, and alleviating back and joint pain. The authors explore the 10 Thai energy meridians known as Sen Sib, the 12 muscle-tendon meridians of Chinese acupuncture, and the most commonly strained muscles and tendons of the spine, neck, and pelvis. They explain how to treat specific ailments, such as headache, stiff shoulder, or lumbar pain, with the traditional Thai massage technique known as Tok Sen, which uses a wooden hammer to send vibrational energy deep into the fascia and muscles along the Sen Sib meridians. This method is particularly effective for joint pain, because the vibrations can reach more deeply and accurately within the body’s structure than a massage therapist’s fingers. The authors also explain Meridian Detox Therapy, which includes cupping, skin massage, and Gua Sha--the scraping of different parts of the body to clear blood stagnation, promote metabolism, and treat acute illness. The final book in the Chi Nei Tsang series, Chi Nei Ching offers advanced massage techniques to work with the energy meridians for optimum health. |

The author utilizes the unusual oriental concept of the human body structure to explain the function of the shoulder, thus providing a totally different frame of reference for the understanding of such an amazing physiological entity. The book provides a well-balanced presentation of Eastern and Western medical science and philosophy, and promises to be a classic. It will benefit many orthopedic surgeons, rehabilitation professionals and biomechanicians. |

| back muscles diagram for massage: Massage Is Weird Ian Harvey, 2021-11-26 Reclaim the magic of massage. If you're feeling burned out, we can beat it. If you're worried about starting your own business, we can conquer those fears. If you think you suck at massage, you're wrong. Massage is weird. There, I said it, and I'd say it again. Whether it's communicating with first time clients, figuring out how the puzzle of pain works (and why it sometimes seems impossible to solve), or creeper-proofing your practice, it can be a lot for one person to figure out all on their own. That's why we'll figure it out together! Take the leap of faith with me and we'll demystify the mysterious, bust a few massage myths, and learn how to drop the worries and start focusing on outcomes. We'll get through it together, one chapter at a time. |
