Whitney Lowe's
Orthopedic Massage DVD
This DVD series demonstrates Lowe’s assessment and
treatment methods for soft-tissue conditions. Designed to complement
Lowe’s texts, these DVDs show exactly how to perform evaluation
procedures that illuminate the nature of your client’s condition.
They then offer you detailed demonstrations of the most effective
treatment methods for both common and complex soft-tissue
complaints.
Whitney applied his highly developed teaching
skills to these DVDs, making them easy to follow and understand, and
easy to navigate with detailed menus. Also, while Whitney has packed
these DVDs full of information, they are filmed with efficiency and
time considerations in mind so that practitioners may utilize their
time effectively.
Volume I: Back, Neck, & Pelvis. With more than 25
assessment and 35 soft tissue techniques.
Orthopedic Massage for Complicated Knee
Conditions.
Just released in
2010.
The MOST advanced DVD we have ever
produced! This 90 minute DVD on Orthopedic Massage for Complicated Knee
Conditions covers detailed information! Its highlighted with anatomical
inserts from Primal Pictures throughout the DVD, along with the use of
musculoskeletal models, we will take you inside the human body to
thoroughly understand the exact structures involved in every clinical
condition!
This Dynamic Multi-Media DVD will be
sharing cutting edge research on myofascial pain, scar tissue
mobilization, trigger points and joint pain. Following detailed
functional assessment and extensive Orthopedic testing, you will combine
multiple modalities to address the following clinical conditions

Volume 1. Assessment and Treatment of Lower
Extremity Injuries.
This DVD will revolutionise the way
medical practitioners approach chronic pain and injuries of the lower
extremities. James formulates the 12 step protocols forming
effective recipes for treatment of chronic pain & injuries: Assessment,
Treatment & Rehabilitation. Frustrated by many different expert opinions
on how to best treat complicated sports injuries, James found a way to
blend as many disciplines as possible and build a great referral team of
open minded medical experts that have the client's best interest in
mind. The orthopedic technique is an integration of sports
massage, myofascial stretching, active isolated stretching, trigger points
therapy,
deep tissue massage, muscle energy techniques, and more.
Volume 2. Assessment and Treatment of Upper
Extremity Injuries.
This video addresses rotator cuff injuries,
such as subscapularis tendinitis, supraspinatus tendinitis, and
infraspinatus and teres minor muscle-tendon pain. It also address bicipital tendinitis, medial epicondylitis
or golfer's elbow, lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow,
carpal tunnel syndrome, neuromuscular pain, and muscle strains.
This DVD will show you functional
assessment skills, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, cross-fibre
and multidirectional friction, muscle energy technique, and
neuromuscular re-education. It also shows you how to identify and
re-program your clients subconscious limiting beliefs about chronic
pain, and teach them to take responsibility of their specific
conditions.
Volume 3. Assessment & Treatment of Low Back Pain
& Sciatica.
This
DVD shows you a unique multidisciplinary approach to the assessment,
treatment, and rehabilitation of lower back pain, injuries to pelvis,
quadriceps and hamstrings.
Learn how to address the balance
of iliopsoas, quadratus lumborum, and the deep six hip rotators. Learn
the relationship between quadriceps and hamstrings on pelvic imbalance
and back pain. It also
addresses patellar tendinitis, ITB friction syndrome, hamstring strains,
and groin strains.
Volume 4. Orthopedic Massage for Thoracic Outlet
and Frozen Shoulder.
Through collaborations with worldwide
medical practitioners, and an
intense self study of anatomy and pathology, James was able to discover
the missing link for immediate release of complicated frozen shoulders.
After being challenged with many clients with difficult frozen
shoulders, James observed that at the articulating cartilage of ball and
socket joints was a thick layer of fascia. Due to repetitive movements
in the shoulder joints certain muscle groups become strong and
short while opposing muscle groups become overstretched and weak. This
eventually leads not only to joint degeneration and resulting arthritis
as the cartilage wears down, but also limits range of motion causing a
formation of adhesions in the joint capsule itself. The articulating
fascia acts as superglue and literally glues the humerus to the scapula.
The deep fascial adhesions however can be melted, in almost a miraculous
discovery James was able to use the head of the humerus in the shoulder
to melt the fascia using very gentle movements. This technique has been
able to release thousands of complicated frozen shoulders in literally
one session.
Volume 5. Orthopedic Massage for Complicated
Cervical Conditions.
This DVD
addresses complicated cervical conditions such as whiplash, and thoracic
outlet. It shows you a unique technique of pelvic stabilization for
lower back pain and sciatica. Emphasis is placed on structural
integration, by releasing shortened muscle groups and strengthening weak
and over-stretched opposing muscles, rather than simply rubbing on
painful symptoms. See a unique frozen
hip joints release using a novel plunging technique.
One of the leading causes of SI joint pain is
because of adhesions in the ball and socket joint of the hip capsule. At
about 10 degrees of hip extension the ilium is forced into flexion on
the involved side because the femur is superglued into the socket. This
puts stress on the SI joint and results in sprains and strains in that
area. James' plunging technique in releasing the joint capsule will
eliminate the underlying cause of the SI joint dysfunction immediately,
and when the muscle groups around the hip are balanced back out the
patient will remain pain free.
Volume 6. Isolated Stretching for Prevention and
Rehabilitation of Chronic Pain and Sports Injuries.
This DVD is based on creating structural balance
throughout the body by focusing on muscle groups that shorten due to
repetitive motions or prolonged poor posture. Many people are stretching
the wrong muscle groups in a futile attempt to eliminate pain patterns.
For example, many computer users complained “between the shoulder-blade
pain” but insist on continuing to stretch this area. They need to learn
that the lower traps, middle rhomboids, and posterior rotator cuff are
already weak and overstretched. Stretching the shortened muscles in
front of the neck and shoulders is the key. Patient compliance and
precise home care is critical.
Specific
conditions addressed in this DVD includes: plantar fasciitis, Achilles
tendinitis, medial shin splints, ITB friction syndrome, patellar
tendinitis, tight hamstrings, lower back pain, sciatica, thoracic
outlet, upper back pain, medial epicondylitis, lateral epicondilytis,
carpal tunnel syndrome, and whiplash. Active assisted and contract-relax
stretches are demonstrated, and isolated stretching for client self
treatment.

Whitney Lowe,
Orthopedic Massage: Theory and Technique, 2nd
Edition (2009)
A second edition of the definitive
resource for all those wanting to use massage therapy to treat pain and
injury conditions.
Fully updated and revised Orthopedic
Massage has been written for those interested in understanding and
applying massage as an intervention for soft-tissue disorders. Recent
research into the physiological effects of massage has strengthened the
justification for its use in the treatment of soft-tissue pain and
injury conditions.
Orthopedic soft-tissue problems are
common among the general population, whether from sports, occupational
activities, or chronic pain. This text presents a comprehensive and
in-depth look at the physiological nature of these conditions and the
massage treatments most effective for their relief. A particular
contribution this text makes is its validation for the role of massage
in treating orthopedic conditions.
In the field of orthopedics the
successful repair of soft-tissue damage is often a crucial factor in
effective rehabilitation. However, most of those who are trained in the
use of massage therapy techniques have little opportunity to learn about
the orthopedic issues involved. Orthopedic Massage aims to help the
clinician understand the relationship between the soft tissues to which
they apply their techniques and the overall orthopedic disorder
affecting their clients. Although written chiefly for massage
practitioners, the lessons it teaches are relevant to any practitioner
who is concerned with the treatment of soft-tissue injuries.
