Positional Release Techniques continues to be the go-to resource for those who want to easily learn and confidently use this manual approach to safely manage pain and dysfunction in humans (and animals). As well as a structural revision, the fourth edition now includes new illustrations and chapters with videos and an image bank on a companion website to reinforce knowledge. At its core, the book explores the principles and modalities of the different forms of positional release techniques and their application which range from the original strain/counterstrain method to various applications in physical therapy, such as McKenzie’s exercise protocols and kinesio-taping methods that ‘unload’ tissues. These methods are traced from their historical roots up to their current practice with a showcase of emerging research and evidence. In addition to a series of problem-solving clinical descriptions supported by photos of assessment and treatment methods, learning is further boosted by practical exercises which examine PRT methodology and the mechanics of their use.Emphasises safety and usefulness in both acute and chronic settingsComprehensive coverage of all methods of spontaneous release by positioningEasy to follow and extensively illustratedBalanced synopsis of concepts and clinical-approach models throughoutLearning supported by problem-solving clinical descriptions and practical exercises in the book as well as videos and downloadable images on the companion website - www.chaitowpositionalrelease.com Revised content structureNew chapters including: Strain/counterstrain researchPositional release and fasciaBalanced ligamentous tension techniquesVisceral positional release: the counterstrain modelRedrawn and new artworkCompanion website – www.chaitowpositionalrelease.com – containing videos that demonstrate application of PRTs and bank of downloadable images

Amazing, effective technique (along with Muscle Energy Technique and a few other concepts Chaitow has written about). If you're an LMT and looking for techniques that will really alleviate pain, learn this, use it. One client was hesitant even to have a free massage because I studied at a massage school affiliated with a chain of spas; she'd had many of the school's "student clinic massages" and thought they weren't worth the time investment, even if the massage were free. She was amazed when I used PR and MET, and managed to get rid of pain that her "professional" massage therapist with 20 years experience hadn't been able to get rid of. I just attended a Chaitow weekend workshop in NY - if you get a chance to attend one of these, DO IT. At the outset, Dr. Chaitow said he'd be teaching techniques on Sunday that we could use on Monday, and he was exactly right. For my final massage exam today, I worked on another student who had spent the weekend moving, and had a LOT of pain. I used techniques I learned in this book and in the workshop; the student was amazed at how effective the PR and MET techniques were at removing her pain.
