Fascial manipulation for internal dysfunction

Descrizione

A number of the anatomical images in this book are by my daughter Carla, an orthopaedic surgeon and assistant professor of anatomy at the University of Padova. These photographs have been taken both in the anatomy department of the Padova University, as well as at the René Descartes University in Paris. My son Antonio, a medical doctor specialised in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Univer- sity of Padova, has taken some of the anatomical photographs. These photographs were taken at the University of New York in collaboration with Dr. Sushama Rich, Chair of Anatomy at the Touro Col- lege of Osteopathic Medicine. I would like to thank Dr. M. Piccin for allow- ing me to use some illustrations from “Istituzioni di Anatomia dell’uomo” by Chiarugi G. and Bucciante L., as well as from “Anatomia Umana” by Esposito V. et al. Prof. W. Hammer, who introduced Fascial Ma- nipulation into the United States, has also given me permission to use some photographs from his book “Functional Soft-Tissue Examination and Treat- ment by Manual Methods”.
