Book Description

Publication Date: August 15, 2002 | ISBN-10: 078172287X | ISBN-13: 978-0781722872 | Edition: 1

This book introduces massage techniques for orthopedic conditions, promoting the alignment of soft tissue relating to pain and dysfunction. An essential manual for clinical massage therapy, it contains brief descriptions of rationale behind orthopedic massage, mechanisms of injury to and repair of soft tissue, and anatomy of each body area. This text includes detailed assessment for each body region, discusses common lesions, and provides illustrated instructions on how to administer this scientifically based style of massage. Based on traditional orthopedic assessment protocols, coverage includes range of motion, passive and isometric testing, and tests that determine the severity of a condition or injury.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best medical texts I have read...., September 19, 2006

Stewart L. Johnson "physical therapist" (Redding, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Massage for Orthopedic Conditions (LWW Massage Therapy and Bodywork Educational Series) (Paperback)

As a physical therapist working in the field for 25 years, I have read many medical textbooks. I recently read "Massage for Orthpedic Conditions" by Thomas Hendrickson, D.C., and found it to be extremely well written, very organized and informative. It was an excellent review of anatomy, and clearly described the hows and whys of his unique massage techniques. I highly recommend it to any physical therapist, massage therapist or other allied health professional.

This review is from: Massage for Orthopedic Conditions (LWW Massage Therapy and Bodywork Educational Series) (Paperback)

A author is a tai-chi practicioner and he was able connect this with a pure racionale view. (One of his teachers was a technician.) No esoteric blabber (holistic, alternative, eastern, ...).

He is a humble author: After recognize joint problems he recommendes special professions (chiropractic, ostheopath, ...); his book is only "orthopedic", ...

Clear descriptions, clear pictures. A nice textbook of therapeutic massage.
