The role played by the venolymphatic system, in osteopathy and elsewhere, is a central one. Venolymphatic Drainage Therapy: an Osteopathic and Manual Therapy Approach offers accessible and clinically relevant coverage of the subject - encompassing the thorax, abdomen, pelvis and limbs - which includes principles of examination and the effective treatment of underlying disorders.
Prepared in an easy-to-follow, practical format, the first part of the volume explores the anatomy, physiology, embryology and biomechanics of the venolymphatic system. The volume then presents a variety of effective treatment options which range from the treatment of functional disorders of the diaphragm, the intraosseous fluid system, the spleen, liver and gallbladder, kidneys and ureters, to the management of problems connected with the abdominal mesenteries and abdominal organs.
Richly illustrated with an abundance of artworks and photographs throughout, this volume will be ideal for osteopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists, physiotherapists and massage therapists worldwide.
Clear writing style, excellent organisation and the effective use of line drawings, photographs and tables make learning easy
Explains the causes of oedema and its subsequent physiological pathway, including the role of the excretory organs in its dissipation
Uniquely explores the importance of the deep lymphatic and venous systems in the context of treating lymph disorders via physical methods
Explores the treatment of oedema arising from deep venous and myofascial obstruction
Demonstrates how enhanced lymphatic flow may improve pharmacokinetic activity
Presents a philosophy of 'gentleness' which emphasises patient centred individual and holistic care
Designed to enhance clinical decision making and technical skills which will allow the practitioner to develop an effective and safe treatment approach
Ideal for experienced practitioners as well as those taking undergraduate and postgraduate courses in manual and related therapies
