With more than 1,000 vibrant, full-color illustrations and over 4
hours of detailed video demonstrations, THE MUSCLE AND BONE
PALPATION MANUAL is the most visually engaging way to help you
master and successfully apply palpation techniques in massage
therapy. This innovative text uses unique, richly detailed
photographic illustrations of muscles as they appear under the skin
to give you a thorough understanding of effective palpation. This
comprehensive guide provides unparalleled preparation for
professional success. Step-by-step muscle palpation coverage with
clear reasoning provided for each step presents content in a way
that is easily understood and remembered rather than just
memorized. Amazing four-color artwork shows palpation of the muscle
with muscle and bone illustrations drawn over full-color photos
offering you a better sense of exactly how the muscles look and
where the muscle is located underneath the skin as it is being
palpated. UNIQUE! Stretching coverage provides more information on
this effective treatment technique and helps you understand the
role of stretching in treatment. Trigger Points and Referral
Patterns illustrations show where trigger points lie on the muscle
and where pain radiates when an injury is felt so you can
effectively identify trigger points and referral patterns in a
clinical setting. UNIQUE! Palpation photos help students and
practitioners learn to identify muscles when the body is positioned
the way they will encounter it in the massage setting. Specific
massage-related assessment and treatment strokes are shown through
illustrations and in the Palpation Notes, moving you from theory
and assessment to practical application. Bone Palpation coverage
teaches you to identify and palpate bones and bony landmarks.
