Want to understand soft tissue injuries? Get this book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is an OUTSTANDING resource (and real eye-opener) for the practitioner as well as for the average person who just wants to understand how things happen in the body and why it can be so hard for some injuries to heal. Mr. Benjamin is a truly excellent educator who can get the knowledge across in a clear and concise manner. I have personally taken quite a bit of additional training from him revolving around the fundamentals laid out in this book. I can honestly say that it changed my life and my career as a massage therapist. This is a book that you will refer to CONSTANTLY. It is invaluable.
Very well written

This is an easy to understand book. I learned a great deal from it. The author knows his stuff, and wrote the book so you don't have to have a great deal of knowledge to follow along. I would recommend this to anyone who deals with injuries, or who has an injury or pain and wants to learn more about it.
Invaluable resource guide!

Ben Benjamin has been my favorite bodywork writer for a long time. I read all of his columns in the American Massage Therapy Association Journal. This book has been thoroughly used so that the cover has even fallen off! Keep up the great writing Ben! Having authored "The Healing Art of Sports Massage", I have a specific need to know things for my practice to be successful!
a great reference book

This is a good book if you are experiencing any pain. It will discribe the problem you are having and how to treat it. It could even save you from going to the doctors office and spending unessesary money if you are sure of your problem and can treat it yorself. I enjoy having this book around. It is a good reference book.
Helpful information in layman's terms. I recommend highly.

This book gives clear, understandable step-by-step guidelines to help the reader identify what type of injury is causing his/her pain. This book helped me understand what my chiropractor and sports doctor did not, that I had a torn ligament in my back. This excellent book also describes exercises that will contribute to the healing of one's injury.
