Book Reviews of Acupressure Taping: The Practice of Acutaping for Chronic Pain and Injuries
Book Review: a disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
This book was disappointing. I bought kinesio tape for my feet and ankles and this book completely skips those areas. A total waste of money. Also, there are lots of unflattering photos of a faceless, pasty model in band-aid colored underwear which are kind of gross--seriously, the underwear looks smudged and dirty and the model is so white and veiny she's almost blue and somewhat bruised looking--they look like photos of a rape victim.
Summary of 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.
