Student physiotherapists respond well to books giving clear guidelines on techniques and their uses. "Massage for Therapists" is specifically tailored to students' needs, even assuming instructions which students, as part of their training, will be practising on one another. The latter half of the book gives detailed instructions on how different manipulations may be used for individual treatments, so should be useful to qualified physiotherapists as well. The book format has been so designed that it will stay open easily on a work surface beside the massage couch. It provides information for the Manipulative Skills part of the pre-registration course.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Good handling techniques are essential in massage and physiotherapy students must learn and develop these important stills. Massage for Therapists is the standard work specifically written for physiotherapists on massage and is highly recommended by physiotherapy teachers.
The second edition retains the successful hands-on approach but has been revised and updated to include new chapters on Abdominal Massage, Sports Injuries, Scientific Effects of Massage and Aromatherapy, each contributed by international experts in physiotherapy. A new format and page design have been introduced to accommodate the large number of illustrations and supporting explanations of the therapeutic application. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
