The most significant cause of early retirement from the massage
profession is the cumulative strain on the body developed in the
course of performing the work. The explosive growth of this
occupation in recent years has been accompanied by an increase in
the number of work-induced problems. Practitioners can easily
strain their hands, particularly their thumbs, fingers, and wrists,
as well as their shoulders and backs.
Written by noted teacher and trainer Darien Pritchard, this useful
book explains those aspects of massage that can lead to these
problems and shows how to apply pressure in ways that avoid them.
The focus is on how to use the body safely and effectively. The
author explores the benefits of involving the whole body to
generate the power and movement that support the hands, saving the
hands by using them skillfully, and conserving them by using other
body areas such as the forearms and elbow whenever possible.
Featuring 2,000 illustrations, "Dynamic Bodyuse for Effective,
Strain-Free Massage "is essential reading for anyone involved in
massage, whether a student, a professional massage practitioner or
teacher, sports massage therapist, or aromatherapist.
