Technique of the Neurological Examination Review

Technique of the Neurological Examination
Average Reviews:

This programmed text is very educational. It combines historical perspective with clinical illustrations. If you've ever wondered the correct way to elicit a Romberg or how to interpret it (or any other exam technique) this is the book you need. Highly recommend it as a programmed exercise and as a reference. I used it as a workbook during my internship so that when I started Neurology residency, I had completed and reviewed the text.

This book is in use for the Chiropractic course in Odense, Denmark, as a textbook on chiropractic technique in the 5.th and 6.th semester of the 10 semester university programme. Great book with nice illustrations, allthough there are a few mistakes or typing errors. This is a great book for teaching manipulative therapy.

I teach chiropractic techniques at a well-known chiropractic college and have not seen a better compendium of technique summaries in print anywhere. This book offers an intelligent and succinct look at the most popular and effective chiropractic analyses and corrective procedures used by the profession. For any health care provider or patient looking for more information on what their chrio is doing, this is THE place to look.

Breath Taking: 60 Breathing Techniques to Enhance Your Health and Joy of Living Review

Breath Taking: 60 Breathing Techniques to Enhance Your Health and Joy of Living
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Wine lovers read books on wine.
Movie lovers read books on movies.
And sex lovers read books on, well, sex.
But who and what is a breath lover?
How do you become one? And why
on earth would you want to read a
book on breath in the first place?
Breathing.
An activity we do THOUSANDS of times
PER DAY ... often without a second thought.
Breathing.
A gateway to deeper levels of sensual
enjoyment.
Breathing.
A key to clearer perceptions and intense
levels of arousal.
Breathing.
An invitation to be truly relaxed (perhaps
for the first time) in your own body.
Breathing is all these things. And more.
Learning how to tap into these things is
the subject of this easy-to-read, easy-to-
put-into-practice book.
Many of us have read a small library's
worth of self-enlightenment books over
the years. But one of the real beauties
of reading this book (Lorin Roche's third
in print) is that your life experience
becomes richer IMMEDIATELY.
Now.
This very moment.
Within days of picking up the book, walking
around and sniffing the air became fun.
Applying aftershave became fun.
Just watching my chest rise and fall became fun.
Eating, naturally, became super fun.
And now that I stop to think about it, wine
drinking became more fun.
Movie watching became more fun.
And sex? Well, what do you think?
One final note: please don't think that this
book -- and the dozens of simple suggestions
you'll find in it -- are simply about sniffing,
or smelling, or inhaling, or whatever.
At the heart of this book is an invitation.
An invitation to use breath as an entry into
deeper states of MEDITATION.
Whether you meditate formally for any given
period of time, or whether you want to transform
your waking hours into a living-breathing-
eating-sleeping extended period of meditation,
"Breath Taking" will take you there.

BREATH TAKING offers an easy and provocative programme that uses human instinct as the basis for maximising the 20,000 breaths we take every day. Through a series of 15 second, 1 minute and 5 minute breathing techniques, author Lorin Roche helps readers tap into the basic human instincts: eating, exploring, homing, resting, playing, grooming, mating, hunting, self expression and healing. Accessing the hunting instinct can increase confidence and aggression levels - key elements to a successful business interview. Nerves can be calmed before public speaking by tapping into the resting instinct. And the mating instinct can improve intimacy - and even increase the intensity of orgasm. The 60 techniques in BREATH TAKING have been developed through work with vocal coaches, yoga instructors, athletic coaches, drivers, Lamaze instructors and others who use breath to enhance awareness, promote relaxation, improve performance and focus concentration. The simple, effective exercises can be practiced anywhere, making BREATH TAKING the most practical guide to using breath to improve the quality of life.

I was looking forward to meditation and breathing to relax. What a disappointment as it began with medical advice for shots needed after age 60.. My stress level increased waiting for the meditation, I turned it off after 15 minutes.

The Complete Book of Massage Review

I found that this book has relatively good information, however, I found out most of this by myself. After reading through it once I already have most of the information memorized. This book is more the top layer of the muscle. I go to a choir college and a lot of the people here have deep knots in their shoulders and lower back. Trying to use this information does not help too much. Oh, don't get me wrong, there are several things in this book that I could use, although I might have to alter it a little. For someone that wants to go into massage therapy, I would suggest getting a few other books. I myself have purchased Art Riggs' Deep Tissue Massage book.
I would recommend this book for the people that just want to relax people for a short time. If however you would like to cause a deeper, longer lasting feeling of relaxation, purchase some other books. This book only provides the "icing on the cake" of massage.. I think. I sort of regret this buy, so think at least twice before buying.
