Discover biodynamic skeletal therapy (BST) with guidance direct from its creator.
Unwinding Boneis a comprehensive, practical resource onbiodynamic skeletal therapy (BST)-a gentle, non-manipulative approach that engages with bone as dynamic, responsive tissue. Rather than focusing on the movement of bones, BST emphasizes the movementswithinthem, helping practitioners identify and treat bones that have lost their natural elasticity and vitality and preparing the skeletal system for further manual treatment.
AuthorScott Sternthal, DO,the developer of BST, breaks down complex concepts into clear, practical information in this hands-on guide for physiotherapists, manual therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and bodywork professionals.
The first half outlines thetheoretical foundationsof BST, reviewing skeletal anatomy and composition, including bone development, remodeling, and mechanical behavior. Explore the continuity between bone and fascia-theosseofascial continuum-as well as the key concepts oftexture, drive, and rhythm, including biotensegrity and fulcrum-lever systems.
The second half moves into thepractical applicationof BST. Sternthal providesstep-by-step proceduresfor finding and treating osseofascial compactions in nearly every bone throughout the body. More than500 photosbring the techniques to life, making this an unparalleled resource for both new and experienced practitioners.
Unwinding Boneis your hands-on guide to understanding and treating the quality and texture of bone tissue.
