A Must Have!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book was recommended to me by another Massage Therapist. I am so glad I took her recommendation. The book is fantastic! I use it a lot and can always find what information I need. Therapists, you won't go wrong in purchasing this book. I highly recommend it for new graduates or any Therapist that wants current information at their fingertips.
A must for clinical massage therapy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I have used this book time and time again. I had this text in massage school directly after its publication, and I am glad I did. I use it continually in my practice. It has been a useful resource for myself and clients for understanding pathologies. Its recommendations are conservative, of course, for liability purposes. Pathologies are explained in a concise, easy to understand manner. It is the first resource I consult when confronted with questions of conditions and pathologies. I consider it a must for any licensed massage therapist, especially those who work in clinical massage therapy.
If you're a massage therapist ...GET THIS BOOK!

Ruth Werner's book is incredible! It won't confuse you with a lot of medical jargon but is clear and easy to understand. Ruth provides case studies and overviews of diseases and a chart of indications and contraindications for massage! Also she covers many different conditions of nine body systems(for example...circulatory and digestive) Plus wonderful color palates of different skin condition, which make them easier to indentify later. I'm now an LMT and had the great priviledge to have Ruth Werner as my teacher. If you can't be as lucky as me get her book, its as good as the real thing! No therapist or bodyworker should be without it!
A wonderful reference for Massage Therapists & Bodyworkers

I just wish I would've had this book while I was in school! This is a VERY well organized book of pathology. It details the indications and contraindications very well, and even has some color photos of various pathologies toward the front to help you identify them. A must for a student, and a should have for a Massage Therapist in practice. You won't regret this purchase if have to study for the National or State Exams. A wonderful, helpful tool!
A "Must-Have" for massage therapists!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
What a great resource- well organized, comprehensive, easy to use, and easy to understand. Detailed coverage of every disease and patholgy I ever hope NOT to see come across my table! Incredible photos are a wonderful visual aid to go along with the detailed explanations of signs and symptoms. Especially helpful are the reference charts at the back of the book, with enough information to help you make a quick yet informed decision about contraindications for massage. As a massage therapy student halfway through my program, I think this should be a required text!
