Editorial Reviews

This 4 DVD Set, produced by Ralph Stephens, covers Medical Massage for the Neck, Back and Abdominal Wall. In the Cervical Neck DVD, Ralph shares with you a complete medical massage routine for the posterior, lateral, and anterior myofascial tissues of the neck; clearly shown and explained, to help you thoroughly examine and normalize the soft tissues of the cervical region. Common causes of head and neck pain including trigger points and postural distortion are discussed. Learn powerful, yet easy, safe and pain free methods to help you provide relief for people with neck pain, cervical strains and sprains, range of motion restrictions and whiplash. In the Lumbar Back Region DVD, Ralph addresses the fact that low back pain strikes most people at some point in their life, and is one of the most common reasons people try massage therapy. This program will help you better serve the needs of this huge market, and contribute to a growing practice through referral based marketing - if you are able to help someone relive their pain, chances are they will tell someone else. You will learn a complete medical massage routine for the posterior lumbar region with the patient in the prone position. In Medical Massage for the Abominal Region, a 2 DVD set, you will learn to work on the most under-treated area of the body, the abdominal wall. Learn to effectively and efficiently examine and treat this region; with either relaxation or clinical techniques. Included are myofascial, neuromuscular, and massage techniques to provide both pain relief and postural correction, and is mostly comprised of hands-on technique demonstrations. The clinical chapters show how to examine and manipulate each muscle of the abdominal wall for pain relief, postural correction, and improved flexibility. Superficial and deep muscles, including iliopsoas & diaphragm are addressed. The relaxation chapter demonstrates how to easily and effectively relax the abdominal muscles.
