Book Reviews of Mosby's Pathology for Massage Therapists, 2e (Book & DVD)
Book Review: I designated this title as a required textbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm the Director of Education at Massage School in Houston. It was a tough choice between the Salvo book and Ruth Werner's book on pathology. I went with the Salvo for the overall number of pathologies, the amount of illustrations and tables, and the recommendations for specific massage strokes for the pathologies. My students all have fun with being 'shocked' by the pictures which are in color and included in the description of the pathology. My personal recommendation as a massage therapist is that I would have both books in my personal library since the Werner book provides more in-depth information about pathologies she selected to include in her book.
Summary of Mosby's Pathology for Massage Therapists, 2e (Book & DVD)
Salvo's Pathology presents more than just a parade of diseases. It takes the reader through health assessment and client consultation, covers sanitation and hygiene, refreshes on physiology pertinent to the pathology and pathophysiology covered in the text, and talks about general contraindications and endangerment sites before moving into the pathologies themselves. More than 300 pathologic conditions are covered in chapters divided by system. An entire chapter on Cancer and another on Mental and Emotional Illness are new additions to this edition. Each pathology presents the following information: Description, Signs and Symptoms, Etiology, Treatment, and Precautions. Pathologies are also accompanied by full color illustrations and photos plus a traffic light icon indicating whether it is safe to proceed with massage (green), there are cautions (yellow), or the massage is contraindicated (red). Local contraindications are distinguished with an "L," to indicate massage is unsafe only in certain areas and the therapist can proceed with the massage for the rest of the body. Helpful appendices and a glossary round out the book.Alternative Medicine Books
