Fascia: What It Is and Why It Matters is the "must-have" book for everyone wanting to learn more about fascia as a tissue and a system. This second edition maintains the high standard of the first book while expanding on everything that made it so popular.By focusing first on the fundamentals of fascia as a tissue that surrounds, supports, and permeates all the muscle, bones, nerves, and organs, Lesondak takes the reader on a journey throughout their entire body from the perspective of the fascial system, making many stops along the way to ensure the reader understands what's important and why it matters to the body. From the new rules of biomechanics, biotensegrity, cellular processes, musculoskeletal issues, proprioception, neuroscience and cognition, somatic dysfunction, and restoration - Lesondak deftly weaves all these concepts together with a deep appreciation for the history of science, fine storytelling sensibilities, and a sense of humor as well as a sense of wonder.

När en patient presenterar många symptom behövs ofta snabb och tydlig vägledning. I denna handbok delar David Felhendler med sig av en evidensbaserad metodik som förenklar vardagen för kliniker. Med fokus på kliniskt resonemang, neuroanatomi och neurofysiologi erbjuder han praktiska verktyg och insikter för att identifiera och behandla grundorsaker till besvär, snarare än bara symptomen.

Genom konkreta exempel och reflektioner vägleds kliniker till att fatta rationella och välgrundade beslut. Med över 30 års erfarenhet som sjukgymnast och privatpraktiserande kliniker är detta en ovärderlig resurs för fysioterapeuter, naprapater, kiropraktorer, läkare, studenter – och alla med intresse för manuell terapi och klinisk neuroanatomi.

David Felhendler föddes 1967 i Söderköping och är idag verksam i Stockholm som legitimerad sjukgymnast och grundare av Odenkliniken i Stockholm.

**2025 Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA) Textbook Excellence "Texty" Award Winner****Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Physical Therapy**With a focus on the normal and abnormal mechanical interactions between the muscles and joints of the body,?Neumann’s Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System, 4th Edition provides a foundation for the practice of physical rehabilitation. This comprehensive, research-based core text explores kinesiology as it relates to physical rehabilitation in a clinically relevant and accessible manner. It presents the language of human movement - and acts as a bridge between basic science and clinical management. It helps clinicians effectively address the mechanical-based changes in movement across a person’s lifespan, whether in the context of rehabilitation, recreation, or promotion of health and wellness. Full-color anatomic and kinesiologic illustrations clearly demonstrate the anatomy, functional movement, and biomechanical principles underlying movement and posture. An eBook version, included with print purchase, provides access to all the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. The eBook included with print purchase also features multiple excellent videos of anatomic and kinesiologic principles, answers to study questions from the print book, and additional tables and figures.
