Review

“A practical text for clinicians treating patients with musculoskeletal complaints.”

SciTech Book News (March 2010)

“An excellent book and a fitting tribute to Janda - well done! I attended several of Janda's courses in the UK over a period of many years and his influence on my professional life was significant.”

Christopher Norris, PhD, MSc, MCSP, MBAcC -- Director of Norris Associates

"This would make a useful addition to every clinician’s library—especially physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and all those using hands-on therapies."

Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies

"…a thorough, well-organized, and well-written summary of the Janda approach to muscle imbalance."

Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy

"With its modest price tag and practical insights of both assessment and treatment of muscle imbalance, I would recommend this book to any practitioner or student planning to treat MSK disorders."

Manual Therapy

This book "provides a lot of useful information that is different from the typical treatment approaches taught in most physical therapy schools and it can only help give clinicians insights that may help them treat their patients."

Vladimir Janda influenced generations of practitioners crossing many disciplines and continents. The books he wrote were influential and have created many schools of thought and practice around the world. This book is an evidence-based updating of the research supporting the Janda model of muscular imbalance, written by three physical therapists who worked with Janda. Janda and many other important researchers, including Panjabi, Goodheart, Travell & Simons, Lewit, Jull, Sahrmann, Bergmark, Hammer, Liebenson, Lund, Chaitow and DeLany, have all shown that muscles respond predictably to pain and/or injury. The importance of detecting these muscular imbalances cannot be over-emphasized, as they are the fundamental measurable characteristic of neurological disturbances. These researchers suggest that muscle imbalance is an essential component of neuromusculoskeletal system dysfunction. Yet this disorder of the muscle system is routinely ignored in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients.

The Janda Approach describes a full spectrum of muscle imbalance (with supportive research and excellent artwork and photography) from relatively common problems associated with aches and pain, including chronic low back and neck pain, to the more serious mechanical injuries to the brain and spinal cord. The final part of the book covers common clinical syndromes by region: cervical, upper extremity, lumbar and lower extremity. Many therapeutic options -- mostly involving exercise ("sensorimotor training") -- are offered in The Janda Approach.

Despite studying Janda's work for many years, there was much material in this book that I discovered for the first time. Highly recommended!

-- Dr.
