Book Reviews of Basic Clinical Massage Therapy: Integrating Anatomy and Treatment (Lww Massage Therapy & Bodywork Educational Series.)

Book Review: Fantastic and highly useful book.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the best books out there for massage therapists. It lists likely trigger point referrals, anatomy, physiology, likely involved musculature. This could easily be the only muscular anatomy book you need as a massage therapist. I would like to see expanded specific information on fascial work and lymphatic drainage. Also, the authors specifically leave out pelvic floor releases and inter-cavity release for the associated muscles, which given how thoroughly this book tackles every other massage-able muscle I find to be a cope out. That said this is still one of the best textbooks I have seen. Beautiful and smart, when added to a therapists own palpation and intuitive skills it could easily be the only hands on book you own and still make a competent therapist.

Summary of Basic Clinical Massage Therapy: Integrating Anatomy and Treatment (Lww Massage Therapy & Bodywork Educational Series.)

This superbly illustrated text familiarizes students with individual muscles and muscle systems and demonstrates basic clinical massage therapy techniques. More than 550 full-color illustrations of internal structures are embedded into photographs of live models to show each muscle or muscle group, surrounding structures, surface landmarks, and the therapist's hands. Students see clearly which muscle is being worked, where it is, where it is attached, how it can be accessed manually, what problems it can cause, and how treatment techniques are performed. This edition features improved illustrations of draping and includes palpation for each muscle. An accompanying Real Bodywork DVD includes video demonstrations of massage techniques from the book.
