Flossing Book "Training und Therapie mit dem Flossband" (German)

Systematic training and therapy: Vitality Flossing

The flossing book provides you with a practical common thread for the efficient use of the floss in training and therapy. We will show you step by step how you can use the raft systematically to improve your movements.

In the basics section of the book you can find out about the possible uses and explanatory models for the effect of the raft tape. In order to prepare for the practice, you should definitely read Chapter 2 Methodology. The practice is divided into two parts: flossing for the lower body and flossing for the upper body.

The chapters each contain ten easy-to-understand and implementable screening methods for checking your mobility. These screenings can be carried out independently by the athlete or by a trainer, therapist or doctor. Based on the examination of your mobility, specific flossing recommendations result. You will find the right recommendation for each part of the body, starting with wrapping, wrapping around the body part, through targeted activation exercises to training and therapy measures.

Press reviews

"The authors let their many years of professional experience in professional sports flow into this book. It is suitable as a guide, for supplementing the therapy of athletes in particular, but also for the treatment of orthopedic patients. The book is written in an understandable way and is therefore also suitable for the layperson or athlete who would like to use the flow to improve performance, prevention or pain reduction.The diverse applications are illustrated with numerous illustrations and the authors describe in great detail in which phases of wound healing Vitality Flossing can be used and how.

In addition, the reader is provided with interesting theoretical models that describe and explain the use and effectiveness of Vitality Flossing. The lack of scientific foundation for the theory here is certainly due to the relatively recent history of the use of the raft tape.

Conclusion: The book is a good help for dealing with the floss tape. It shows interesting applications in combination with active movement exercises. Theory and practice are explained very well and in detail. The authors have written a book that lends itself as a practical, illustrative guide to using the floss tape."
