Main description:

RiVision (TM) is an innovative physical therapy method that is designed to treat musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain. This method uniquely combines physical therapy, dance/movement therapy and guided imagery so that, working together, they can be more effective than they would be if used separately (RiVision Healing Centre).

This book is a concise guide to the new physical therapy treatment, RiVision (TM). Authored by the pioneer of the technique, Dr Rivi Har-El from State University New York Downstate Medical Centre, the first chapters provide an overview of RiVision (TM) and its application.

The following chapters explain each component of the technique - physical therapy, dance/movement therapy and guided imagery - and how they interrelate to help treat musculoskeletal pain. Case studies featuring treatment goals, exercises and outcomes are also included.
