Faszientraining

The book provides a profound insight into the diverse physiological and functional aspects of the fascial network that permeates the entire body. It presents from various perspectives the significant role that fascia plays in strength and conditioning training for athletes, in football or martial arts, as well as in movement therapy, sports rehabilitation, and cancer aftercare. Various disciplines contribute their insights, describing cutting-edge research projects and the resulting findings, clinical observations, and different diagnostic and therapeutic options. The theoretical section compiles exciting background information from sports medicine specialists and movement experts, such as the influence of nutrition, hormones, biochemical processes, and mechanical stress. However, the focus of the book is on therapeutic applications: injury prevention, fascial fitness and stretching, fascia in yoga, dance, and Pilates, eccentric training, as well as proper walking and throwing techniques, and joint mobilization. The use of fascia rollers and kettlebells is also presented in detail and made directly applicable for practice. The book is suitable for physiotherapists, yoga teachers, movement therapists, and sports therapists.
