Πριν από 3000 και πλέον χρόνια, πρωτοπόροι Κινέζοι άνοιξαν με τον βελονισμό, κυριολεκτικά και μεταφορικά, μονοπάτια θεραπείας, που εξακολουθούν να ανακουφίζουν εκατομμύρια ανθρώπων σε όλο τον πλανήτη. Ο βελονισμός ως αυτόνομη και συμπληρωματική θεραπεία, όπως εξελίχθηκε και με τη συνδρομή κορυφαίων επιστημόνων της δυτικής ιατρικής κοινότητας, είναι το αντικείμενο αυτού του βιβλίου. Ο συγγραφέας του, καθηγητής δρ. Δημ. Βασιλάκος, δεν περιορίζεται σ’ ένα εκπαιδευτικού χαρακτήρα σύγγραμμα. Ο αναγνώστης αντιλαμβάνεται αμέσως ότι στόχος και προσδοκία του μαζί ήταν, από την αρχή, να εμπνεύσει, παράλληλα, τις μελλοντικές γενιές ιατρών βελονιστών.

Στις 780 σελίδες του βιβλίου, θεωρία και καθημερινή πράξη, προσωπική και διεθνής εμπειρία και αποτελέσματα κλινικών μελετών συμπλέκονται για να αποτυπωθεί βήμα βήμα η θεραπευτική αυτή μέθοδος, με πλήρη τεκμηρίωση. Ο στόχος αυτός υπηρετείται και με την εξαιρετικά παραστατική εικονογράφηση, για την οποία αξιοποιήθηκε η νέα τεχνολογία του 3D. Υπάρχει κάτι που λείπει κι αυτό είναι τα Trigger Points και ορισμένα μικροσυστήματα, αλλά μόνο γιατί θα αποτελέσουν αντικείμενο του δεύτερου τόμου της έκδοσης, λόγω της μεγάλης σπουδαιότητάς τους.

Αναμφισβήτητα, πρόκειται για ένα βιβλίο που θα αποτιμηθεί ως σταθμός στην ιστορία του βελονισμού στην Ελλάδα, καθώς αναδεικνύει θεμελιωμένα το επιστημονικό κύρος της αρχαιότερης, σύγχρονης μεθόδου θεραπείας

Acupuncture has long been recognized as complementing the practice of physiotherapy. Acupuncture in Physiotherapy is written for physiotherapists who have already received a basic training in acupuncture and who wish to extend their practice and achieve an intermediate standard of knowledge. It links the philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the theory and practice of Western science in a single, clearly written and highly readable text.

Acupuncture in Physiotherapy addresses the important issues on appropriate acupuncture research methodologies, particularly that of placebo control and enables the reader to judge the quality of RCT evidence. It also examines more recent research into the mechanisms of acupuncture. Treatment vignettes are included throughout the text to demonstrate the immediate relevance of the sophisticated and subtle TCM thinking to modern physiotherapy  practice. Research papers and texts are cited where they support TCM theory.

Val Hopwood is an experienced practitioner and is well known for her acupuncture courses. Her ecumenical approach to the subject avoids an abstract separation of the two strands of acupuncture and in its juxtaposition of science and mythology, provides a stimulating and original survey. Full of insights, this book will be required reading not only for physiotherapists but any health professional who uses acupuncture in their practice.
