Covers exactly what the title says
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have not read this book cover to cover yet, but it is an excellent resource for functional assessment. It is organized in an easy to follow and understand format, and easy to understand language - medical terms are clearly defined where they are presented, and the author has no need to "impress" his readers with unnecessarily complicated anatomical vocabulary. The treatment suggestions are brief and miminal, but it is a book about functional assessment. I would have liked the author to recommend a companion book on treatment of the conditions he covered. I highly recommend this book to any serious massage therapist or similar bodyworker. V. Hawse, massage therapist and massage instructor

I am a massage therapist and I also teach Sports Massage. Students don't escape my class without having the virtues of this book emblazoned upon their memories by dint of relentless repetition on my part. If you're interested in knowing what's going on with your clients' musculo-skeletal systems, you need to buy this book and use it. It discusses many and diverse disorders you will probably see in your practice; giving a description of the characteristics of the disorder, assessment information and suggested treatments. The charts and tables alone are worth the cover price. You will be more effective as a massage therapist, whatever your modality, with the information in Functional Assessment.
