Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I recently gave my copy of the Schatz book I have used for several years to a physical therapist friend when she took a new job in Atlanta. I was about to purchase another copy when I saw his newest book and decided to add it to my library.
The "Schatz Technique" presented here is a refinement of healing practices he developed during years of work with patients of all ages who had all types of chronic pain and disability. His method of exploratory massage, gentle tissue manipulation and percussive fingertip and palm actions is easy to learn, and gives patients autonomy and control over their own healing. The techniques are non-invasive and easy to learn, even by lay persons. I am not a massage or a physical therapist, but I am living proof that the Schatz Technique works.
At 61 I suffered an open fracture, with comminution, to both bones of my left forearm. My surgeon called it the "nastiest broken arm" he had seen in several years. As I healed, I supplemented my physical therapy sessions with the Schatz Technique. I had three goals: reduction of scarring and adhesions along my surgical incisions, restoration of nerve function to a badly stretched and inflamed radial nerve, and repair of muscle tissue that had literally been "chewed" by bone fragments. Today, one year after my injury, I have no adhesions or thickening of the tissues along my incisions. I have complete flexibility and sensation in my hand, and there is no pain in the areas enervated by the radial nerve. I have pre-injury strength in my left forearm as well, and can lift and carry anything I want to without pain.
