This thorough and comprehensive demonstration features techniques to augment the massage therapist's preferred treatment methods, while also providing step-by-step guidance to massage therapy students. This DVD can be used in sections, which are organized to ensure ease of use and applicability. Instructor and RMT Paul Lewis demonstrates a variety of reparative therapies, focusing on the upper limbs, head/neck/ shoulders, abdominals and back. Lewis is best known for his use of Dynamic Angular Petrissage, a powerful, safe and effective technique that requires little physical effort on the part of the therapist. Using DAP, one can continually assess the client's response to treatment, gauging range of motion, tissue pliability, mobility, texture, tone, tenderness and temperature while treating.
A case study is integrated to effectively support the clinical reasoning and rational for modalities, treatment positions, areas addressed and techniques utilized. The therapies explained here range from tissue preparation using hydrotherapy on both the table and chair, to unique techniques such as Triple Knuckle Stripping, as well as alternative treatment positions and draping options for clients who are unable to lay in a prone position. A supplementary demonstration of Lewis Circles provides both client and therapist with a simple yet beneficial self-care exercise. www.paullewis.ca
