About the book >.>.> The magic is not in the medicine but in the patient’s body-im the vis medicatrix naturae the recuperative or self-corrective energy of nature. What the treatment does is to stimulate nat- ural functions or to remove what hinders them.” Miracles C.S. Lewis 1940 The purpose of this book is to provide the practitioner with a powerful set of tools to precisely and consistently resolve difficult cases of soft tissue injury and muscu- loskeletal dysfunction. This text is an attempt to bring this information to the reader in a format that is concise orderly and user-friendly. We have formulated a system of assessment and treatment that can be easily learned and readily used to benefit patients. This material is appropriate for physical therapists chiropractors osteopaths medical practitioners occupational therapists athletic trainers and massage therapists. We acknowledge the pioneers in this field for their con- tributions and view this text as a step toward a greater understanding of the complex nature of the human body. We are hopeful that this work will represent a measure of progress in the field of musculoskeletal therapy and enhance the clinical applicability of these powerful techniques. The basis of the treatment program described in this text can be traced to related practices in antiquity. In this cen- tury positional release therapy (PRT) has evolved through the work of various clinicians but the discovery of the clm- ical application of these principles is credited primarily to Dr. Lawrence H. Jones D.O. His dedication to uncovering the basic principles of this form of therapy was a monu- mental achievement. Jones exemplifies the essence of Thomas Edison’s definition: “Intelligence is perseverance in disguise. (MP)
