A second edition of the definitive resource for all those wanting
to use massage therapy to treat pain and injury conditions. Fully
updated and revised Orthopedic Massage has been written for those
interested in understanding and applying massage as an intervention
for soft-tissue disorders. Recent research into the physiological
effects of massage has strengthened the justification for its use
in the treatment of soft-tissue pain and injury conditions.
Orthopedic soft-tissue problems are common among the general
population, whether from sports, occupational activities, or
chronic pain. This text presents a comprehensive and in-depth look
at the physiological nature of these conditions and the massage
treatments most effective for their relief. A particular
contribution this text makes is its validation for the role of
massage in treating orthopedic conditions. In the field of
orthopedics the successful repair of soft-tissue damage is often a
crucial factor in effective rehabilitation. However, most of those
who are trained in the use of massage therapy techniques have
little opportunity to learn about the orthopedic issues involved.
Orthopedic Massage aims to help the clinician understand the
relationship between the soft tissues to which they apply their
techniques and the overall orthopedic disorder affecting their
clients. Although written chiefly for massage practitioners, the
lessons it teaches are relevant to any practitioner who is
concerned with the treatment of soft-tissue injuries. Includes
detailed technical information, extensive illustrations, and
reliable reference material essential to everyday practice.
Provides a comprehensive approach to treatment of common soft
tissue pain and injury. Explains common orthopedic problems in
detail, addressing biomechanics, kinesiology, and anatomy. Provides
an in-depth discussion of the physiologic rationale for soft tissue
treatments and explains those most effective for each condition.
Integrates treatment approaches from across the field and gives
detailed, easy-to-follow steps for their application. Compares
traditional treatments with soft tissue manipulation for each
problem discussed. Clearly links anatomy, physiology, and
biomechanics with clinical practice. Designed for quick and easy
reference with more than 200 high-quality full colour illustrations
and numerous photos of treatment techniques. New clinical case
studies and tips illustrate the techniques discussed. Now presented
in full colour. New step-by-step photographs depict the techniques
described in full detail. Increased artwork and photographs make
learning more visual. Case studies demonstrate techniques and
management in clinical practice Clinical hints and tips throughout.
Greater guidance in treatment strategies to include 'Treatment
Approaches' and 'Rehabilitation Protocol Considerations'.
