Neurosensory – Therapeutic Frontiers

This international work, a collection of contributions born from the first day for the Informed Physiotherapist, canceled due to the “Covid-19” emergency, discusses some fundamental issues of Neurological, Psycho-Motor, Respiratory, Vascular and Sensory Disabilities.

Having prepared the works for the Proceedings of the event, strongly desired by Editaliamedica to promote the Italian Medical Culture, we have created this paper, which collects the rehabilitative experiences, proven with scientific data, in the field of Disabilities, which range, among others , from thermal treatments, to neuromodulation, to sports medicine and to the rehabilitation of chronic pain.

In this context, our desire to deepen the themes of Physiotherapy has developed, through “The Decalogue of the Informed Physiotherapist“, Monographic Series for the Informed Physiotherapist directed and coordinated by Giovanni Barassi, composed of 10 notebooks / practical tools to keep on the work by Sector Operators, presented on paper and on video.

Presentation:

To the kind attention of Messrs. Heads of Associations, Messrs. Authors, Messrs.Exponents of Scientific Journals, Messrs. Headsof Sector Companies and Whom should have the
pleasure, received the book as a free essay-free sample, to send us advice and ideas to improve our work and the profession “Informed Physiotherapist”.

Hello, we have the honor to send you the volume: “Neurosensory Disabilities: new therapeutic frontiers” as an essay-tribute-free sample.
How was the Opera born? We at EdItaliaMedica, taking into account the type of Works / Texts that we promote and produce, according to the philosophy of learning to know and, above all, how to do it, while we were preparing the editorial initiative “The Decalogue of the Informed Physiotherapist”, Direct and Coordinated by Giovanni Barassi with the Editor Nicodemo Maggiulli,

we found ourselves at the Thermal Center of Castelnovo della Daunia, where the Scientific Direction of this facility told us (I was also there as Publisher!) of their interest in promoting an International Day on the importance of Thermal Waters for Neurosensory Disabilities… we had no hesitation in pursuing the idea !
Dr. Barassi, having had acquaintances with international Professionals and Teachers over the years, talked about it with Foreign and Italian Colleagues and, thus, the Day of April
18th, 2020 was born, which, unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 health emergency, is been postponed. However, the request for the Contributions had been forwarded and satisfied
by the entire Faculty, to which we renew our heartfelt thanks, having previously thought of making it the subject of a Book of Proceedingss,naturally presented in Italian and English,
which today we are sending you in homage, with the hope that it could be a harbinger of other similar initiatives, certainly valid for
establishing a cultural-professional memory in the management of the issues discussed at times in sector events.

What is the Book about?
This Book contains a series of experiences of excellence, at national and international level, aimed at the treatment and prevention, in the rehabilitation field and in the socio-health field,
of Neurosensory Disabilities. In fact, we decided to make indelible the knowledge that would be shared during the Training Daydedicated to the theme of Neurosensory Disabilities, born in the context previously indicated.
The approaches presented in the Opera are varied and in particular stand out the results, achieved and scientifically demonstrated, through the therapeutic integration of different
techniques and instruments both for evaluation purposes and for treatment in thermal centers, in the field of latest generation physical energies, in the context of manual therapy and
in the areas of sport, of nutrition and of sociology.

All this aims to make the current state of the art clear and to open the doors to constructive sharing that can be the basis for new evolutions and / or the enhancement of these innovative
approaches that already exist in the rehabilitation field.
Therefore, hoping to have done something pleasant, we are confident in the possibility of collaborating in the future for other scientific and editorial experiences in the physiotherapy
and rehabilitation field.

Best Regards,
Nicodemo Maggiulli e Giovanni Barassi
