Acupressure Taping: The Practice of Acutaping for Chronic Pain and Injuries
Combines acupressure and massage to treat pain using elastic tape
• Shows how the use of an elastic, adhesive tape works with the body’s own motions to combine the actions of acupressure and massage
• Presents both therapeutic and preventative techniques for acute and chronic pain
• Contains step-by-step instructions illustrated in full color detailing how to self-treat pain in all parts of the body
Sufferers of chronic pain well know the frustration of treatments involving endless rounds of drugs or expensive physical therapy--that may or may not offer relief. In Acupressure Taping, authors Hecker and Liebchen present a comprehensive guide to a new method of pain treatment--acutaping--which offers a much simpler and more effective alternative. In acutaping, elastic tape is placed over the afflicted area in accordance with related acupuncture points. During the course of normal movement throughout the day, the elastic tape provides a gentle but consistent massage to the inflamed area. Because the skin adheres to the tape, it is shifted against the subtissue during motion, causing lymph tissue to drain and connective tissue to be massaged.
The authors show that most bodily dysfunctions can be self-treated through this innovative method. Combining elements of Chinese medicine with osteopathy, acutaping produces a method of treatment for ailments ranging from back pain and tennis elbow to menstrual pain and migraines. Acutaping is an easy and effective treatment--without side effects--that offers welcome relief to sufferers of chronic pain.

| User Reviews |  | Great Book
rating: 5
Very pleased with this book. It shows how to stretch the body and then apply the tape. Some things you can do alone but most taping has to be done by another individual. Since you are stretching the body one way and applying the tape on, it's almost impossible to do it yourself. I showed it to my chiropractor and he wanted to keep the book to read it for himself. He already uses kinesio taping in his practice.

Excellent Read

Easy to read, comprehend; furthermore, the pictures are very self-explanatory when in the process of applying the tape!

No more myths
rating: 4
When simple, effective procedures can be public available, doing just that is the right thing to do.
Some text seems out of focus and unrelated to practice, just there because the authors are MD's and want to avoid criticism from their peers. Skip that and the book could be rated a 5 star.
