Self-help for over 60 physical and emotional complaints. 192 pages. Dr Winfried Weber. Taping is "in" and we see the colourful tapes everywhere, not just in football stadiums or gyms. But this gentle therapy can do even more: simply remove stress, anxiety and problems! Dr Winfried Weber has further developed taping, which is widely used in physiotherapy, and also uses it effectively for many other health and psychological problems. Following the great success of "Emotional Taping", Dr Weber is now targeting women specifically and treating female physical and emotional complaints. In Emotional Taping for Women, the experienced gynaecologist demonstrates the application of the taping method for more than 60 different areas of application: for menstrual and pregnancy problems, for postpartum and menopausal complaints as well as for other general complaints such as anxiety, headaches, sleep disorders etc. Dr Weber's "tools" are the same tapes that are used for muscle injuries. How it works: Stressful health situations and unresolved emotional conflicts lead to tension and muscle hardening, which - depending on the underlying problem - manifest themselves in certain typical areas of the body. The temperature then drops in the affected areas of the body. When we apply tapes to these areas, we tighten or compress the skin - depending on the application. The elastic adhesive tapes have a targeted effect on nerve structures in the connective tissue, the tissue is supplied with more blood, warms up and relaxes. The tapes also stimulate the autonomic nervous system. The nerve cells in the taped region report the relaxation to the brain, which then reduces the production of stress hormones, for example. Anyone can easily apply the tapes: Clear step-by-step instructions with precise photos show exactly how to use the tapes. All women who want to help themselves and others, as well as doctors and alternative practitioners, will find easy-to-understand, professionally illustrated instructions for specific taping for more than 60 different complaints.

by Katharina BrinkmannTo be slim, fit and completely satisfied with your own body, you don't need time-consuming muscle training on bulky weight machines. Mrs Sporty Women's Sports Club founder Valerie Bönström and Katharina Brinkmann, author of "Yoga-Faszientraining" (riva 2016), personal trainer and yoga teacher, show that there is another way: with functional training. This can be practised anywhere and is ideal for the female body and its needs. Functional training mobilises, stabilises and strengthens. With a minimum of time and effort, excess pounds, back pain, tension and joint problems disappear. This is because the individual muscle groups are always trained in the context of their movements - and whenever a few minutes can be found between family, work and other commitments. This book shows how busy women can integrate such training into their everyday lives in a practical way.

Under the term Traditional European Naturopathy TEN, the millennia-old system of medicine that was only largely replaced by the model of modern conventional medicine in the 19th century continues to live and develop. TEN is therefore much more than a collection of diagnostic and therapeutic methods. It is a fascinating independent art of healing based on the laws and means of nature. Although many of its methods, such as herbal medicine, cupping or Kneipp treatments, have survived in alternative medicine, they are usually practised in isolation from their traditional roots. However, their efficiency suffers as a result, because only integration into the original medical concept enables truly natural and, above all, individualised health care and treatment of sick people. This book summarises for the first time the many different elements of TEN, of which only individual fragments have been dealt with in literature to date, into a systematic whole. It also places its diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the context of humoral medical physiology and pathophysiology. The authors do not limit themselves to the dogmatic reproduction of old sources, but make necessary adaptations according to current knowledge, supplement the TEN with modern developments and underpin their teaching with many practical examples and case descriptions. This book lays the foundation for the definition of TEN as a speciality within alternative medicine and is also a valuable textbook for the training and further education of TEN therapists, written by experienced (naturopathic) practitioners who have been working with TEN in their practices for decades and also teach it as lecturers. 2nd edition, 588 pages, four-colour illustrations and photos, with ribbon marker, hardback.

Vital, elastic, dynamic in everyday life and sport If you want to stay mobile, vital and pain-free in everyday life and sport, you should do something for your connective tissue! This knowledge is now recognised in physiotherapy, sports science and medicine. A great deal has been done in this area in recent years. Muscular connective tissue plays a major role in well-being, mobility, performance and health: the so-called fasciae transmit the strength of the muscles, communicate with the nervous system, serve as a sensory organ, provide protection and material exchange for the internal organs and form the basis for a beautiful body shape. Connective tissue can also do what was previously only thought to be possible for muscles: it reacts to stress and stimuli and if fasciae become matted or stick together, pain and movement problems can be the result. Fascia should therefore be trained specifically - 10 minutes twice a week is enough! In this completely revised bestseller, fascia researcher and Rolfing therapist Robert Schleip shows how to implement a practical exercise programme for everyday life. He reports on the latest scientific findings from research and explains which methods and equipment are most effective for fascia treatment and which do more harm than good. These findings are already playing an important role in the field of physiotherapy and will continue to influence future treatment techniques.
