Fascial Manipulation for Musculoskeletal Pain Theoretical Part - L. Stecco & A. Stecco

In spite of my amateurish command of the Italian language, several years ago I recognized immediately that Luigi Stecco had produced an Italian masterpiece with the help of Piccin Nuova Libraria.
Reproduction in an English edition seemed a mandatory next step and I urged it to be done. Now my pleasure is redoubled as I read through the excellent translation that captures the true essence of my esteemed colleague’s ideas and recommendations.
Few books achieve the fond hopes of their authors and their admirers. This is just one that succeeds, making a genuine and profound contribution to the fields of biomechanics, orthopedics and rehabilitation. It moves with easy grace from any topic to its neighbor, shedding warmth and life to them all.
As one who has experienced both the high and low points of medical writing and editing over several decades, I see in these pages a true work of genius. It deserves a very wide readership and enthusiastic application of its lessons.
