The first systematic guide to the highly effective treatment technique of connective tissue massage

Dicke's systematic, scientifically based treatment method of connective tissue massage (or "Bindegewebsmassage") is now in wide use throughout the world. In this book, practitioners will get the first detailed, "how-to" description of connective tissue massage (CTM) {in the English language} including the principles, knowledge, and skills to implement it.

Special Features:

  • Begins with the origin and practical benefits of CTM, including its neuroanatomical and neurophysiological basis
  • Explores the relationship between the sensory, motor, and autonomic nervous systems and the complex reflex mechanisms that are activated by CTM therapy
  • Describes and illustrates specific stroking techniques that trigger the appropriate neural reflexes in every body segment
  • Shows how to make a diagnostic assessment based on skin, connective tissue, and muscle zones
  • Covers the full range of orthopedic, neurological, internal medicine, and gynecologic disorders that can be effectively treated with CTM

Complete with treatment plans, indications and contraindications, and modern medical guidelines, this book is essential for all physical and massage therapists and osteopaths who want to successfully integrate CTM into their practices. It is also a fascinating reference for physicians and other medical professionals who are interested in learning more about this important manual technique.

This book addresses the molecular, pathophysiological, and cellular pathways involved in the process of infection. It also examines the host defense mechanisms modulated by innate and adaptive immunity. The book starts off with an introduction, which includes etiology, pathophysiology, and diagnosis of infections. It then goes on to cover a wide spectrum of salient features involved in viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections and effective therapeutic strategies. In addition, there is a complete section of eight chapters elaborating the detailed aspects of COVID-19 infections, Mucormycosis, Omicron, and strategic vaccines and therapeutics. The book further goes on to discuss novel antibiotics, vaccines, bromhexine, boron compounds, phytotherapeutics, and aspects on boosting immune competence. Contributed by experts in the fields of viral, parasitic, bacterial, and fungal infections, the book comprehensively details the various types of infections such as herpes and COVID-19, their molecular mechanisms, and treatment strategies for those engaged in the research of infectious diseases.<br></p>
