Product Description |
|
This richly illustrated text teaches the basic techniques of clinical massage therapy by embedding illustrations of internal structures directly into photographs of live models. Each muscle or muscle group is shown, along with surrounding structures, surface landmarks, and the therapist’s hands. Useful as a textbook of clinical massage and anatomy, this text can also be used as a practical patient communication tool. Basic clinical techniques such as compression, stripping massage, myofascial stretching and cross-fiber friction are included. Suggestions of draping options correspond to illustrations of draping techniques. Appendices include pain referral zones by region, Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes, and a glossary of terms. |

A great resource! |
This book was part of my massage school curriculum and it was a very valuable resource!
The greatest part of this book is that it includes these amazing photographs that overlay the muscles. It shows you how different massage strokes affect the surrounding muscles. If you're a massage therapist, this book is a must have!
I keep this volume at work and show it to my clients. It helps them understand how massage affects them and why I am doing certain strokes.
Highly recommended. |

For experienced and inexperienced massge therapists alike! |
|
This book goes very in-depth with the anatomy of massage. I'd hoped it had more basic techniques, but other than that, this book is wonderful. |

Awesome book! |
|
I purchased this book when I was half way through massage therapy school. I wish I would have had it right from the start! It is a great book with amazing real pictures of muscles. I brought this book to class and about 1/2 the class wanted to order it! The instructor saw it and was going to look into getting it for future classes. Just get it; you won't be sorry you did. Money well spent! |

Great book AMAZING CD-ROM |
|
This book is fantastic for all the reasons the other reviewers gave, but oh that's not all...the CD-ROM is fantastic really amazing. It's a great way to see the muscles again in another view. The images are of computer generated models to show the attachments and then there is a video of a therapist massaging the muscle. It took me months to watch this CD-ROM because I had no idea it was going to be this great. Buy this book it's well worth the money. Plus, it's a business expense! |
