5.0 out of 5 stars Mosby's Fundamentals of Therapeutic Massage, April 21, 2000
By debbiehart@DWW.Net (Durango, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mosby's Fundamentals of Therapeutic Massage (Paperback)
I am owner/director of Silver Sword Massage Academy located in Durango CO. Mosby's Fundamentals of Therapeutic Massage is an excellent text for the beginner student & for the professional requiring a state of the art resource. The latest edition is especially enriched with fine color graphics for optimal visual learning. I refer to these visual aids in my private practice as well, to help educate my clients. The technical information is presented in plain speak and then, through skilled educational writing successfully bridges into the technical language of the health field of massage therapeutics. This book is the cornerstone of our programs. I highly recommend Mosby's Fundamentals of Therapeutic Massage as one of the best comprehensive massage books on the market.

3.0 out of 5 stars needs some tweaking, February 1, 2005
This review is from: Mosby's Fundamentals of Therapeutic Massage, Enhanced Reprint (Paperback)
Overlong chapters and a choppy writing style make this book difficult to use at times. There is a lot of good information but it is written in such a mannner that re-reading is necessary to clarify the topic of the paragraph. It is written with a tight economical use of words and becomes difficult for the reader to digest the information overload. Could use a little editing. Otherwise a good text. Addendum: After writing my orginal review and going through the book more, I have to state Appendix "A" of this book is a total nightmare. If you need to study pathology, get a different book. I am a licensed, practicing health care professional in the health field for over 8 years. I know pathology. This appendix even confused me, not to mention fellow LMT students who were pulling their hair out trying to sort out the mess of confusion. I finally gave up on it and went to different sources for information on tests we needed to take.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like it, will keep this one., November 29, 2005
By AMY LITTLE (NEW JERSEY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mosby's Fundamentals of Therapeutic Massage, Enhanced Reprint (Paperback)
This book is full of requires stuff that every massage student should know. I liked the chapters on hygiene, body mechanics and business practices. The book reads in a pretty technical way. So, yes, it's quite wordy, but it is pretty complete. All in all, one of the needed books to study from for the National Certification Exam. Other required books for Massage National Certification Exam PREPARTION ARE:

Patrick Leonardi's "The Ulitimate Study Guide for the National Certicfication for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork,
volumes 1,2 & 3. This has wonderful questions that helped to keep me on track.
