Important Breakthrough in Tendon and Ligament Healing,
By Paula Koepke (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tendon and Ligament Healing: A New Approach Through Manual Therapy (Paperback)
Weintraub's book provides unprecedented help and hope for people who suffer from sports, overuse, or accident injuries. It is extremely informative in its clear accessible descriptions of the cellular, neural, electrical, and biomechanical levels of injury and healing and how manual therapy can assist complete recovery. I am a 20 year practitioner and teacher of hands-on modalities. My interventions are more effective because of his specific explanations of how to work precisely with the microstructure of the tissue. I highly recommend this book to health professionals, sports and movement trainers, and everyone interested in an innovative method of enhancing recovery from serious injury.

Well Done, but Definitely Not a "Self-Help" Manual,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tendon and Ligament Healing: A New Approach Through Manual Therapy (Paperback)
Weintraub certainly knows his way around the body. I am moderately well versed in medical terminology and anatomically I am fairly astute having studied both in college and independently. I work in a medical laboratory. The man (or woman) on the street will be quickly left in the wake of unfamiliar terms. Further, his knowlege does not translate well if you're looking for a way to heal yourself... The chapter titled "Self Help Strategies" runs to all of seven pages. Neither, does the book offer any clues as to how to contact a practitioner versed in his methods (he seems to be the only one), nor does it contain any contact information for the author. The citations are numerous and the book is well referenced: something that is often lacking in similar books. He has definitely done his homework. Unfortunately, the unique array of talents which he purports to bring to his method, would be unlikely to occur with any regularity in the general population of manual therapists. I am skeptical of his claim to be able to palpate electrical and magnetic fields. Possible, I suppose, but I remain unconvinced. In all a well written and documented study. Hopefully, it will lead others in this direction. A lot more work needs to be done, and a modality developed which is widely accessible

Not useful without MANY CEUs,
By "naebean2" (Chapel Hill, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tendon and Ligament Healing: A New Approach Through Manual Therapy (Paperback)
I'm a licensed massage therapist (3 years) and massage instructor at a local school. When I bought this book, I thought I'd come away with some practical information that I could apply to my practice immediately. Well, after reading it I don't feel that at all. In fact, I feel that it may be another 10 years before I can become proficient in all the modalities that Weintraub combines to achieve his reported results. Among the courses I'll need to certify in are Acupressure, myofascial release, Body-Mind Centering and visceral manipulation. He's been doing this for 30+ years and I don't feel he has been able to write a book that can teach this method, though he successfully describes the myriad skills needed to practice it. ...
