PATHWAY TO HEALTH(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Based on the premise that movement is essential for life and
any restriction will affect our health, visceral manipulation
starts with the core, the viscera (organs), and extends throughout
the entire body to address pain, structural imbalances, tensions,
and restrictions. The practitioner uses specifically placed manual
pressure that promotes normal movement, tone, and internal movement
of the organs, their supporting structures, fascia, nerves, and
blood vessels. The ultimate goal is improved health by allowing the
body to perform and move optimally.
　　Illustrated with nearly 100 instructional photos and anatomy
drawings, A Pathway to Health begins with general information about
visceral manipulation, describing the method, goals, philosophy,
and history of the practice. The book also explains the evaluation
process and what a patient can expect to experience during and
following a treatment session. Author Alison Harvey covers each
major structure of the body including the organs, fascia, muscles,
bones, and nerves, and discusses the causes of dysfunction. The
second half of the book focuses on each system of the body,
presenting physiological information and treatments as well as case
studies. Harvey also explores emotional issues and their effects on
the body and gives an authoritative summary of current research in
the field.
