Synopsis

Introducing the concept of back stability, this text reviews the biomechanics of the lumbar spine and stabilization mechanisms. It shows how to establish the foundational positions and movements for the stabilization programmes; the consequences of muscle imbalance and how to address that problem; how to build abdominal muscle strength; and how to diagnose and correct bad posture. It goes on to show how to build back fitness with weight training equipment, and provides many dynamic control exercises for going on to advanced rehabilitation and stability. The parts are pulled together in a back stability programme for each client, and the text goes on to show how to avoid back injury at home and at work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This new edition provides professionals and students with a blue-print for diagnosing and treating back problems. Heavily backed by research, activities are carefully selected and presented in a logical manner. Clinicians are alerted to look for inappropriate movement patterns and how to assess these. Practical clinical advice helps to provide clinicians with the means to develop effective back care programmes and this edition is packed with more clinical applications based on new research. The book size has been increased to open up the contents and make the read easier. New illustrations and photos, together with a second interior colour, provide an attractive format from which to identify and learn important content. For the second edition, photographs of all the exercise techniques have been included for clarity. To make these even more useful, where appropriate they overlay the photographs to show body alignment.
