The Concise Book of Acupoints is aimed at acupuncture students and novice practitioners as well as physical therapists and general bodywork therapists who want to utilize the use of these points within their own practices of reflexology, shiatsu, tui na, acupressure and many other bodywork therapies. This highly illustrated book describes the most used and popular acupuncture points on the body that may be used with needle, pressure, moxa or magnets. Although the points are all given traditional Chinese names and symbols, the description of their use, their symptomatology and conditions treated are given in easy to understand Western medical terminology. Unique to this book is the 'star' system of grading acupoints according to their versatility. The book also states if the acupoint is used as a reflex point or a chakra point, so encompasses reflexology and chakra therapy philosophy. John R. Cross, FCSP, Dr.Ac., MRSH, has been practicing traditional and complementary medicine since 1970, and has remained at the forefront of his profession in clinical and teaching fields. He remains passionate about the integration of professional complementary therapy into mainstream physical therapy, and was awarded a Fellowship by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy for this work in 2005. John is the author of five other books on the topics of acupressure, acupuncture, reflex therapy, bodywork and the chakra system of healing. He runs an advisory service for practitioners through his website, as well as the 'All Experts' organization and continues to give seminars and workshops worldwide.

This book is about living in tune with nature, and explains how you can reacquaint yourself with living in season in a simple and easy way. Seasonal living is something that would never have been talked about 150 years ago. We got up when it was light, went to bed when it was dark, ate local produce when it was in season, and joined in with the energy and the festivals of the local community; we were totally in tune with energy and its natural cycles. We can now shop, eat, and bank, sitting in front of our computers 24 hours a day, and pay no attention to our energy fluctuations. We ignore the early warning signs of tiredness as a precursor to sickness, until our bodies take over and finally make us so ill we are forced to listen! This book will allow you to re-evaluate your life and make the readjustments necessary to live 'in season' once again. There are two ways to use this book; you can either go directly to the season you are in, or go to the ailment or condition that you have from the index at the back of the book.

Muscle Energy Techniques is a must for any student in the field of sports therapy, osteopathy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, yoga, Pilates and functional anatomy, and will also appeal to anybody qualified in physical therapy. This practical guide, packed full of colour photographs, illustrates the theory and practice of muscle energy techniques (MET). The principles described can be incorporated very quickly and effectively into a treatment plan, and can be used to assist in the rehabilitation of anyone who is recovering from an injury. In particular, this book will provide the therapist with the underpinning knowledge of the specific anatomy of the postural muscles that can become dysfunctionally shortened. Author John Gibbons brings years of expertise - he lectures in the field of sports medicine and physical therapy and works with elite-level and Olympic athletes in a wide range of sporting disciplines. In the book he looks at the theory of MET and, once that has been understood, he takes you on a muscle energy technique 'journey'. After demonstrating functional assessment testing for the muscles of 'posture' that can become chronically tight and dysfunctional, he shows how to apply a specific MET to correct these dysfunctional muscles to restore normality. The book contains easy to follow 'postural muscle' tables that you can use to monitor the progress of your patients.
