Beskrivning

Written by a well-known and highly respected author and practitioner within the field, Shiatsu Theory and Practice is a complete introduction to the theory and practice of Zen shiatsu, drawing in detail on the theoretical foundation of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Phase theory as well as that of Zen. Beresford-Cooke explains the strands of theory in a way which makes their integration into practice clear and rational. She includes step-by-step descriptions of treatment routines and techniques, alongside case histories illustrating the application of theory to practice. The book features detailed descriptions and illustrations of meridians, point locations and functions, and these are shown together with salient underlying anatomy. The text is supported by full colour photographs as well as online videoclips showing techniques, routines in the four positions and how to treat individual points and meridians. There are also supplementary online resources such as exercises and activities, web links, appendices for each chapter, and instructor lesson plans, homework and testbank of questions. This fully revised third edition is essential reading for students and practitioners of shiatsu and massage therapy.

Recensioner i media

Shiatsu Theory & Practice by Carola Beresford-Cooke is quite simply the best book in its field! The Shiatsu College (www.shiatsucollege.co.uk) is just one of the many schools, in the UK and throughout the world, which recommends it as the primary text book for all Shiatsu students, from beginner to practitioner level. It supplies precious material to support students with clear, practical information about all aspects of Shiatsu and it continues to be a valuable resource even for experienced practitioners. As a teacher, with over 25 years' experience, I often still turn to it for inspiration before teaching - particularly the section on 'Putting theory and practice together'. It's comprehensive, really beautifully written, well laid out and rich in information. One of its great gifts is to integrate the mystery and poetry of Chinese medicine - as well as cutting-edge western physiological understanding - into an immediately accessible form for anyone working with the healing art of Shiatsu.
