A Massage Therapist's Guide to Lower Back & Pelvic Pain

By: Leon Chaitow, ND, DO (UK),Sandy Fritz, BS, MS, NCTMB

A MASSAGE THERAPIST'S GUIDE TO LOWER BACK AND PELVIC PAIN describes in detail the background to the evolution of "non-specific" backache as well as the assessment and treatment methods ideal for use in combination with massage therapy, deriving from physical therapy, osteopathic, and chiropractic sources. The book describes these methods individually and then integrates them into a detailed description of a massage session focusing on the person with backache. This unique book takes care to consider the needs of the massage therapist, who previously may have had to adapt his/her own methodology from descriptions aimed at other health care professionals. Abundant illustrations enrich the text and bring content to life to make it easily understandable. Bulleted point text and summaries allow the reader to quickly find information and review important content. Easy-reference format and accessible language help break down concepts. Accompanying website [previously a DVD] demonstrates real-life examples of the palpation and treatment methods.

Fibromyalgia and Muscle Pain

Your Guide to Self-Treatment

By: Chaitow ND DO, Leon

Do you remember the last time you had the flu—the aches, pains, stiffness, headache, lethargy, inability to concentrate, discomfort and sheer unpleasantness from it? Imagine having the flu all the time—for months or years—now you have an idea of what fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) can be like. As one of those misunderstood and often overlooked syndromes, its primary symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses. Sufferers experience widespread muscle pain, chronic fatigue, disturbed sleep, bowel disorders, headaches, anxiety, PMS, and more. Leon Chaitow, one of the leading experts on FMS, evaluates the most common treatments for fibromyalgia, including massage and bodywork, hydrotherapy, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, acupuncture, skin brushing, homeopathy, nutrition, antioxidants and other supplements, and relaxation techniques, and advises on what works and what doesn't. Fibromyalgia and Muscle Pain is a practical guide that contains a range of self-tests and checklists to help pinpoint symptoms, and it arms the patient with all of the necessary information they need to take charge of the process that can help restore them to good health.

Naturopathic Physical Medicine

Theory and Practice for Manual Therapists and Naturopaths

By: Leon Chaitow

NATUROPATHIC PHYSICAL MEDICINE provides a philosophical naturopathic perspective, as well as practical clinical applications, for manual and physical approaches to health care. A wide range of bodywork and movement approaches and modalities are evaluated in relation to their ability to be appropriately used in naturopathic treatment and rehabilitation settings. The model of care emphasised in this text recognizes that naturopathically oriented therapeutic interventions usually focus on achieving one or all of the following: enhancement of function so that the person, system or part, can better self-regulate in response to adaptive demands; modification or removal of adaptive load factors; and symptomatic relief without creation of significant additional adaptive changes.

Candida Albicans

Natural Remedies for Yeast Infection

By: Leon Chaitow

A 10-point program to naturally treat yeast overgrowth, the root cause of countless chronic ailments • Details a proven anti-Candida diet, enzymes and herbs to support it, detox methods, and immune-boosting strategies to rebuild and prevent future Candida overgrowth • Explains how antibiotics, antacids, contraceptive pills, and steroids as well as a sugar-rich diet lead to Candida overgrowth within the body • Reveals how Candida can contribute to a wide variety of physical and mental problems, from depression to irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia The yeast Candida albicans lives inside every one of us. Normally it presents no problems, but today’s widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, antacids, contraceptive pills, and steroids, as well as the all-too-common sugar-rich diet, can lead to a proliferation of this parasitic yeast within the body. Often overlooked by doctors, overgrowth of Candida has been linked to a wide variety of physical and mental problems such as: • depression • heartburn • "brain fog" • muscular pain • anxiety • irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) • allergies • menstrual problems • irritability • acne • fibromyalgia • bloating and constipation • chronic fatigue • migraine • cystitis • and more . . . Using the latest research and his decades of clinical experience, Dr. Leon Chaitow explains how to recognize if yeast is your problem and offers a 10-point program for getting it back under control. He reveals how Candida overgrowth occurs and its connection to many common health problems. He explores how to control Candida naturally with enzymes and herbs as well as detailing a sugar-eliminating anti-Candida diet to “starve” existing yeast overgrowth in the body. He explains the importance of probiotics and bitters and how antibiotic treatment as well as inflammation disturbs the balance of normal “friendly” intestinal bacteria, allowing Candida to colonize the gut. Offering strategies for detoxing after controlling Candida and reducing inflammation, Dr. Chaitow also highlights the importance of rebuilding the immune system to enhance health and help prevent future Candida imbalances.

Fascial Dysfunction

Manual Therapy Approaches

By: Leon Chaitow

Fascial dysfunction is now recognised as one of the main underlying causes of musculoskeletal pain leading to impaired and reduced mobility. These are the symptoms which confront all practitioners of manual therapy in their everyday practice. In this second edition of his very successful book, Leon Chaitow brings together contributions from 20 leading practitioners and researchers from many different fields of manual therapy. Fascial Dysfunction - Manual Therapy Approaches, Second Edition aims to help those practitioners to assess more precisely the dysfunction of their clients and its cause and to increase practitioner awareness of the various techniques which may help them in their attempts to alleviate their clients' problems. New features of the Second edition include: Descriptions of new research evidence and its implications for practice: The dependence of collagen health on a mixture of balanced internal and external tension The importance of adequate hydration The possible role of the telocyte The importance of 'dosage' of therapies in management of fascial dysfunction New chapters on: Gua Sha and cupping Global postural re-education Scar remodelling The book is in two sections. Section I, written by Chaitow with a contribution by Tom Myers, presents a review of the current understanding of the function of fascia in the human body and describes what can go wrong - the causes and effects of fascial dysfunction and disease, and how to assess the problem and remove obstacles to the success of treatment. Section II contains chapters by experts in different types of manual therapy including three by Chaitow. Each practitioner describes their own approach to the problem of assessing and treating fascial dysfunction and explains their specialist therapeutic approach.

How to Overcome Pain

Natural Approaches to Dealing with Everything from Arthritis, Anxiety and Back Pain to Headaches, PMS, and IBS

In this important and highly accessible book, registered osteopath and naturopath Leon Chaitow outlines a wide range of tried and tested natural approaches to pain relief, as well as groundbreaking research including the role played by fascia in the experience of pain and a whole host of breakthrough mind-body techniques. The author begins by explaining the nature of pain and why it is that the more you understand about it, the greater an ability you tend to have to overcome it. He then goes on to outline key pain relief approaches including meditation, hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, light and colour therapy, breathing techniques, massage, stretching, hydrotherapy and herbalism. There is also extensive information on the importance of nutrition and supplements. And a special feature is the extensive pain directory that provides treatment advice for the most common problems including headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and backache.
