Book Reviews of Orthopedic Massage: Theory and Technique, 2e

Book Review: Orthopedic Massage
Summary: 5 Stars

This book was a great resource for my class on orthopedic massage at Cortiva Institute. I like the way she divides the book into areas of the body. Muscles are reviewed, assessments explained, cautions pointed out and treatments suggested. Homework for clients is also suggested. I highly recommend this book for someone entering the field of massage therapy.

Summary of Orthopedic Massage: Theory and Technique, 2e

Fully updated and revised Orthopedic Massage has been written for those interested in understanding and applying massage as an intervention for soft-tissue disorders. Recent research into the physiological effects of massage has strengthened the justification for its use in the treatment of soft-tissue pain and injury conditions. Orthopedic soft-tissue problems are common among the general population, whether from sports, occupational activities, or chronic pain. This text presents a comprehensive and in-depth look at the physiological nature of these conditions and the massage treatments most effective for their relief. A particular contribution this text makes is its validation for the role of massage in treating orthopedic conditions. In addition, it aims to help the clinician understand the relationship between the soft tissues to which they apply their techniques and the overall orthopedic disorder affecting their clients. Although written chiefly for massage practitioners, the lessons it teaches are relevant to any practitioner who is concerned with the treatment of soft-tissue injuries.
  • Includes detailed technical information, extensive illustrations, and reliable reference material essential to everyday practice.
  • Provides a comprehensive approach to treatment of common soft tissue pain and injury.
  • Explains common orthopedic problems in detail, addressing biomechanics, kinesiology, and anatomy.
