4.0 out of 5 stars a practical book
This book is useful to help you apply the manual techniques of trigger point release. However,you will have to buy other books to have a complete guide about the practice of myofascial release. This book can help you.

3.0 out of 5 stars I wish Ward Wrote More
The author brags that Ward, who termed the phrase "myofascial release" and helped popularized it among mainstream American Osteopaths, was one of the co-authors but he only contributes two paragraphs regarding myofascial release.

This review is from: The Myofascial Release Manual (Spiral-bound)
The author brags that Ward, who termed the phrase "myofascial release" and helped popularized it among mainstream American Osteopaths, was one of the co-authors but he only contributes two paragraphs regarding myofascial release. The book describes different techniques for different problems but the reader should be warned: Myofascial release is both clinician and patient dependent, so the book should only be a guide of what you could possibly do. Furthermore, myofascial release involves three parts: compression, traction and twist. The author just describes stretching in her techniques. Because myofascial release is so patient and clinician dependent writing a book on this particular technique is very difficult. The author has not been able to meet the challenge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written book on a little understood system of the human body, November 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is one of a few books I purchased via Amazon on Myofascia Release therapy. This one is well written. It has many photos but I wish there were more - which would earn it all 5 stars. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but very technical., April 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Myofascial Release Manual (Spiral-bound)
Great book, but its very text-book like. Don't go into it thinking its an easy read . . . its extremely technical. Working knowledge of anatomy and kineseology is a must!
