Palpation and Assessment Skills Unknown - 2003 - 2nd Edition

by Leon Chaitow; Graeme Chambers; Viola M. Frymann


From the publisher

Like the popular previous Edition, the new Edition of Palpation Skills has been designed and developed to help the reader to understand and acquire the palpatory skills which are the foundation of all effective manual therapy assessments and treatments. Subtle and sensitivity of touch and the accurate interpretation of palpatory tests are required from the start of training in any of the manual therapy professions. It is difficult to learn these from written descriptions or static illustrations alone. By combining a workbook approach with the use of video demonstrations and audio explanations on a CD-Rom, Palpation Skills provides the student and developing practitioner with a portable workshop which they can access at any time. Palpation Skills: Assessment and Diagnosis through Touch will be of practical to use to every manual therapist and practitioner at all stages of their professional development. It can help them to extend the range of skills they can bring to their practice by bringing together suggested approaches from a variety of disciplines.

  • Covers the palpation and assessment of all tissues and systems, including the skin, muscle structure, and the spine and pelvis
  • Gives practical guidance and instruction on a broad variety of palpation techniques
  • All the palpation techniques covered are clearly described and illustrated in the text and supported by video film on the CD-Rom
  • Each technique is supported by practical exercises and self assessment questions. Further questions relating to the video clips are included in the CD-Rom
  • Directs the beginner in the correct way to carry out the techniques and provides additional techniques for the practitioner to add to his basic library of skills
  • Provides outcome expectations against which progress can be measured. The video support can help to identify how to improve these skills.
  • Written by a highly respected practitioner and teacher - brings his workshops to the individual at home and in the clinic
  • 2 colour printing throughout the text helps to clarify the structure of the content and the details of the movements being shown in the diagrams
  • The CD-Rom supports and supplements the written text.
  • 2 colour printing throughout - making it an easier text to follow
  • CD-Rom now included - featuring video clips to expand the descriptions in the text
  • New section on assessment methods relating to particular regions - shoulder, hip etc.
  • More cross reference between palpation of different types of tissues and diffeent anatomical regions
  • More material aimed at the experienced practitioner - who wants to improve their interpretations of findings.
