MASSAGE MAGAZINE says:"To Riehl's credit, his knowledge of the subject matter is evident & he makes some of the concepts, like pelvic torsion & subsequent compensations, useful even for advanced therapists. All viewers will gain insight into the nature of myofascial pain in the torso and extremities, and effective treatments... Giving clear instructions and explanations, Riehl encourages intuition while competently and carefully teaching the mechanics of this powerful treatment approach." INSTUCTOR: Sean Riehl has taught massage nationally, presented at the AMTA California conference, written multiple articles appearing in Massage Magazine and the Biotone Newsletter as well as being the author of a number of DVD's on massage. DETAILED CONTENTS:This DVD includes 53 techniques, 31 muscles and 29 trigger points. In this DVD, Mr. Riehl shows the assessment of the hips in terms of anterior/posterior rotation and high/low hip movements, and how these movement affect the lower back pain. Also covered are the adductors (for groin pulls), and the other hip muscles that control the internal and external rotation of the femur (like the piriformis that can cause sciatic nerve impingement). The lower back section discusses the most important muscles of lower back pain and their referral patterns, as well as how to evaluate for spinal mobility to help pinpoint pain. The neck section shows evaluation of the four ranges of motion and how to alleviate restriction. How to work on the anterior cervical vertebrae by pushing aside the trachea and touching the front of the cervical spine is also shown- great for whiplash sufferers. The work on the scalenes will help people who have arm pain that comes from this area.
