Dermo neuro modulating


簡介(Book Description from Amazon):

DermoNeuroModulating is a structured, interactive approach to manual therapy that considers the nervous system of the patient from skin cell to sense of self. Techniques are slow, light, kind, intelligent, responsive and effective. Positioning of limbs and trunk affects deeper nerve trunks (by shortening and widening their container), and is
combined with skin stretch directed toward cutaneous fields of nerves that branch outward into skin (which may draw neural structure further through its
container).
It is prudent to remember that manual handling of a patient’s physicality is only a small part of developing a complete therapeutic context for change—while
optional, it can also be optimal.

DNM is a manual therapy approach which seems to be most consistent with modern pain science. As a Hellerwork Structural Integration practitioner I worked for years under the assumption that I was changing the structure of the body by manipulating fascia. Most research now refutes the idea that we can have any direct effect on structure whatsoever. Hellerwork is effective bodywork. That is not being questioned. The explanatory model however is incorrect it seems. Diane Jacobs is advancing the idea that none of us have ever effected any kind of change in the body through anything but the nervous system. By touching skin, we are connecting through the cutaneous nerves to the central nervous system and this communication is what helps the "patient" shift. She quite clearly lays out a new approach to working with another human being. The model is shifted from therapist as operator to therapist as interactor. This is an extraordinarily humanistic approach to therapy which helps build self-efficacy in the patient which is the most important factor in assuring change. This book is absolutely essential for every manual therapist.

This should be required reading for anyone using their hands to help people in pain.
I've followed Diane's writings online and attended her course in person. This book takes all the best of her ideas and puts them in a very easy reading format, but at the same time includes copious references. For those that have attended Diane's course, the treatment section is very nearly identical to what is included in the more recent editions of the DNM course manual. But even having several variations on the manual I find the book (ebook in my case) to be a valuable addition. The beginning of the book gives an overview of principles, including numerous clinical pearls. For those that just want to learn enough to put this manual therapy framework "to work", the information in the beginning chapters will likely satisfy this desire. But I highly suggest reading to the end, as the principles are all repeated, in greater detail. The repetition increases and deepens understanding which is really what learning DNM is about. Understanding the enormous complexity of the pain experience and how all facets of an evaluation and treatment encounter can have effects on a person's experience, ranging from subtle to enormous. Thank you Diane!
