Reviews

 “This valuable DVD about lumbar disk lesions and related nerve problems is aimed at advanced massage students and medically-oriented clinicians.  A large selection of stage-specific assessment, manual treatment, and self-care methods are clearly explained and masterfully demonstrated using an actual client.  The presentation is enhanced by good production, great anatomy visuals, and Doug’s expertise and sense of humor.  There is no downside to the DVD, but the viewer must have well-developed palpation skills, knowledge of anatomy and contemporary massage techniques, and the motivation to study a complex subject.”

"Nerve injuries are a cause of numerous soft-tissue pain complaints, although their frequency is just now starting to be recognized. In this DVD Doug Alexander explains many of the complex issues of neural tension and compression in a clear and understandable way. The demonstrations are easy to follow and there are numerous evaluation and treatment procedures that can be immediately used in your practice to help many of your clients."
