Useful for clinicians in the field
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I was impressed by the high caliber and daily usefulness of this book. I found the organization by the different levels of the tissues that were being treated innovative and practical. Each section provided lots of hands-on guides with excellent photographs, as well as details of the scientific basis for the technique. I especially like the tables the authors provide that help me quickly locate information. My colleagues and I find ourselves checking the book when we need quick info on a patient we are treating.
Physical Therapy Instructor Review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
As an instructor of PT Students, this is by far the best overall text for massage and soft-tissue techniques on the market. It uses Guide to PT Practice language and the impairment model. The cases demonstrate decision making, documentation, and suggest the adjunct treatments that would be indicated. This text is clear, concise and clinically relevant in today's practice environment. In addition to basic massage, it also covers trigger points, reflexology, manual lymph drainage, and other techniques, and gives appropriate emphasis to each. An excellent resource for any educational program or PT practice performing massage!
