Well researched and evidence-based, this book takes a unique medical approach to describing applied massage techniques for common conditions and their utilization as an adjunct to both conventional and complementary treatments. Offers guidelines on the assessment of each body region prior to massage, including symptoms and signs relating to pathology. Features photographs and line drawings that clearly illustrate correct postural techniques.

The history of massage is always of interest and frequently included in most massage books, however, this subject has become extensive due
to the magnitude of data now available. I have consequently narrowed the history to a short section on the clinical use of massage and given examples when it was of significant interest in the past.
