Product Reviews:

Positional Release Therapy
This is the most must have, useful book I own. Techniques in this books were used on me by my Physical Therapist. I was on high doses of very strong pain medication. Through techniques used in this book, I no longer need to sleep with a cervical collar, my sciocita is fixed, as well as many other areas of my body that were in constant severe pain. I now take little and no pain medication. Positional Release Therapy along with other simple aids have helped me get back to a more normal life. The book is written so clear that a person without medical knowledge can effectively use the procedures. The good thing is you can't mess something else up by doing it wrong. You follow the directions and pictures until you get it right. Surgery was recommended by doctors on my back and this is now not a necessary option for me.

clinically helpful ( tbonept )
Although I've only taken one strain/counterstrain course (for the extremities) I use this text frequently in the clinic. The photos are clear and I can easily duplicate the positions for the neck/back although I've had no specific course instruction on those areas. Many times the techniques from this book have helped when other things haven't worked. Definitely worth checking this one out.

Easily organizes strain/counterstrain intervention
Kerry organizes the concept of strain/counterstrain into an systemic approach that is easy to use and document. His book contains pictures demonstrating each release position with an awareness of the therapists body mechanics. He has done a great service to all physical therapists and osteopaths through this well organizerd work.
