This book gives a comprehensive introduction to massage techniques
and offers guidelines on the assessment of each body region prior
to massage (including the symptoms and signs relating to
pathology). Well researched and evidence-based, the book takes a
unique medical approach describing applied massage techniques for
common conditions and their utilization as an adjunct to both
conventional and complementary treatments. Generously illustrated
with black and white photographs to show how to do the techniques.
Additional line drawings illustrate correct postural techniques for
the practitioner. Instruction is also given on supplementary
techniques for the physically impaired patient. Handbook of Massage
Therapy 2nd edition is aimed at all practitioners and students who
practice the various disciplines of physical therapy. It provides
the student with a comprehensive introduction to massage therapy
whilst being of equal value to the practitioner, presenting
theoretical information based on clinical experience and research
material. Thorough descriptions of massage techniques, their
physiological effects, indications and contraindications, and how
massage may be used therapeutically helps the reader come to a
better understanding of the treatment of many common conditions.
Each of the chapters on body regions begins with an assessment of
the region with guidelines on the examination of pathological
symptoms, signs, and implications for massage treatment, preparing
the reader for what is to come. A generous number of illustrations,
including photographs and line drawings, show the correct
techniques for the practitioner. Extra instruction shows
supplementary methods for use with patients who are physically
impaired, elderly, or unable to lie on the treatment table. New
two-color format gives the text a fresh, vibrant look, assisting
the reader with improved visual aids. Extra material on research
presents new developments in the field. Now includes more on
bodywork and forearm massage techniques. An increased number of
anatomical diagrams enhances the ability to clearly understand
various techniques. An expanded section on massage during pregnancy
offers the most current information on the topic.
