Neuromuscular techniques (NMT) offer an efficient and proven method of soft tissue manipulation involving, mainly, thumb/finger applications. NMTcan be used to both assess and treat myofascial – and other soft tissue dysfunction – to improve general function, to release muscular tension and, most specifically, to assist in the elimination of myofascial trigger point activity. These techniques are potentially useful to all manual therapists i.e. osteopaths, chiropractors, manipulative physical therapists – students and practitioners for all groups; orthopedic medicine practitioners and massage therapists

As the massage profession embraces the knowledge base that is the foundation for the work that we do, there is a need for texts and reference books that provide concrete, researched and integrated information free from the influence of personal style. This text has accomplished the task by expertly weaving the sciences with the skills and blending methods for physiologic outcomes

This book masterfully integrates the biomechanical biopsychosocial and biomechanical approaches of management of the soft tissue dysfunction.
Craig Liebenson DC
This book is destined to become a classic and a ‘must have’ in every serious manual therapists library for years to come… I, for one, will be recommending it to everyone I can because it is without a doubt the most well thought out and well organized presentation of soft tissue manual therapy that I have seen to date

Clinical
Application of Neuromuscular Techniques Volume 2: Lower Body 2nd edition and Judith Walker DeLany LMT, Teacher and Practitioner of Neuromuscular Therapy, Director of NMT Center, St. Petersburg, FL
ISBN - 978 - 0443068157
Hardback, 608 Pages , 440 Two colour illustrations
Clinical Application of Neuromuscular Techniques, Volume 2 - The Lower Body, is a highly illustrated volume of more than 600 pages (Volume 1 - The Upper Body is also available). Almost 500 illustrations, with over 400 in two-colours, support the text throughout and make the anatomy and associated techniques easier to understand.
The book covers MET (muscle energy techniques), NMT (neuromuscular techniques), PR (positional release) and many other bodywork techniques used in the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders.
The text has a regional, joint by joint structure, and the same sequence of headings is used for each joint, making the text easy to dip into. The unique feature of the book is that it describes the normal anatomy and physiology as well as the dysfunctions that may arise, giving a detailed evaluation and description of clinically important aspects of functional anatomy and physiology.
Indications for treatments and guidance on making the appropriate treatment choice are given. Palpation methods are evaluated. The different NMT techniques are then described in relation to the joint anatomy involved, which include not only manual techniques but also acupuncture, hydrotherapies and nutritional support as well as guidance for the patient in the use of self-help approaches.
Practical neuromuscular solutions are described in great detail for the treatment of somatic pain and dysfunction together with an eclectic selection of associated manual modalities. The book discusses theories and physiology relevant to the manual treatment of chronic pain, especially as it relates to the soft tissues of the lower body. Step-by-step protocols that address each muscle of a region and a regional approach to treatment are features that make this book unique. A structural review of each region, including ligaments and functional anatomy, adds value for new students and practitioners alike.
