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

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

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars enlightenmented author, June 12, 2008

By	PAVEL MILICKA "pm" (Europe, Czech Republic) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
