 NDS

Dear Therapist,

Welcome to another NDS newsletter which we believe is a real humdinger.
We have some excellent news:

  •  Michael Shacklock receives award for his book Clinical Neurodynamics, Elsevier, Oxford, – Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists (FACP). This establishes the book as a peer-reviewed text and is a welcome step in the development of the neurodynamics approach to treatment of disorders with a neural component. See Below...
  •  New Book Release – upcoming release of a new book from NDS on the founder of adverse mechanical tension in the nervous system. It is about Dr Alf Breig's work between the 1950s and 1980. The content is from his two earlier books, Biomechanics of the Nervous System (1960) and Adverse Mechanical Tension in the Central Nervous System (1978). See Below...
  •  FEATURE ARTICLE – Heel pain/plantar fasciitis – mechanisms, clinical reasoning and neurodynamic treatment with manual therapy See Below...

We do hope you enjoy this edition and stay in touch for more news about the release of the new Breig book. It will be on sale exclusively through the NDS web site in the near future. The book has over 150 pictures of Dr Breig's work on cadavers, surgery and technical drawings of his measurements and observations on physical function of the nervous system. Never before has his work been released in such comprehensive detail in one single monograph.

Best wishes from the NDS Team
