A wonderful reference for Massage Therapists & Bodyworkers
I just wish I would've had this book while I was in school! This is a VERY well organized book of pathology. It details the indications and contraindications very well, and even has some color photos of various pathologies toward the front to help you identify them. A must for a student, and a should have for a Massage Therapist in practice. You won't regret this purchase if have to study for the National or State Exams. A wonderful, helpful tool!

A must for clinical massage therapy
I have used this book time and time again. I had this text in massage school directly after its publication, and I am glad I did. I use it continually in my practice. It has been a useful resource for myself and clients for understanding pathologies. Its recommendations are conservative, of course, for liability purposes. Pathologies are explained in a concise, easy to understand manner. It is the first resource I consult when confronted with questions of conditions and pathologies. I consider it a must for any licensed massage therapist, especially those who work in clinical massage therapy.

A "Must-Have" for massage therapists!
What a great resource- well organized, comprehensive, easy to use, and easy to understand. Detailed coverage of every disease and patholgy I ever hope NOT to see come across my table! Incredible photos are a wonderful visual aid to go along with the detailed explanations of signs and symptoms. Especially helpful are the reference charts at the back of the book, with enough information to help you make a quick yet informed decision about contraindications for massage. As a massage therapy student halfway through my program, I think this should be a required text!
