This beautiful, full-color, 1090-page acupuncture textbook contains foundational information on the integration of sports medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, along with detailed information on over 93 sports and orthopedic injuries. This groundbreaking text is packed with indispensable clinical information, including innovative advanced needle techniques, therapeutic exercise recommendations and herbal medicine treatments. Over 780 detailed drawings and photos help make the material more accessible to the reader.

The text is divided into three sections. Section I consists of Chapters 1-5. It begins with a review of the basic principles of sports medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, particularly in reference to musculoskeletal health and injuries. Detailed discussions on topics such as motor points, Hua Tuo points and their relationship to the neural reflex arc, and the role of the zang fu in musculoskeletal health, help to illuminate how these two systems of medicine complement each other. The rest of Section I reviews the basics of different treatment options including: acupuncture, therapeutic exercise, internal and external herbal medicine, moxibustion and adjunctive modalities like kinesiological taping, cupping, bloodletting and gua sha.

The second and third sections of this book consist of Chapters 6-12, also known as the “injury chapters.” Section II presents the reader with numerous injury conditions involving the neck, shoulder and upper extremity, while Section III covers the low back, hip and lower extremity. Each injury contains a detailed description including typical mechanisms of injury, assessment and treatment suggestions, and a list of common TCM patterns that present in the localized area of the injury. A detailed prognosis that discusses the amount of treatment necessary and the timeframe for rehabilitation is presented at the end of each specific injury. The end of each injury chapter contains a section on rehabilitative exercise that includes proprioceptive, stretching and strengthening exercises that are appropriate for different injuries.

This text is the most comprehensive and thorough English-language text on the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and sports medicine. With its focus on clinical applications, much of the information within this book can be immediately utilized in the acupuncture clinic.

Light scent, lathers surprisingly well
Like the reviews said, it lathers up nicely and rinses away very easily. I washed three large dogs (2 with short coats) and used up almost 1/2 the bar. Not sure if that's a great value or not. But at least I didn't have liquid shampoo dripping off their backs and running down the drain! While washing, the smell was nice, but it definitely didn't linger. Didn't cause any itchiness or irritation.

Will be using this from now on
Australian Shepherd is all fluffy! I always use a conditioner after any shampoo though. But, this soap lathered up great. We need to always look for more natural products especially for our pets.

Nothing EVER works, like advertised.
Scent: Alpine Meadow
I love this dog soap. It works awesome on my lab/ husky mix. No more dropping wet shampoo bottles, reaching for them, and my boy shaking water everywhere. Lol, seriously this works great! Smells great and took the stink out of his rubber collar. Nothing else has worked short of buying another. You won't be disappointed.

Love the ingredients!
I usually don’t write reviews, but absolutely love this bar soap for my dog. It has all natural ingredients which helped his skin beneath his thick German shepherd coat. It suds up well, but rinsed off fast. The benefits lasted days and made his coat, silky and shiny and healthy.
