Product Description
Product Description
Featuring more than 250 photographs and 50 anatomical drawings, Deep Tissue Massage is the standard guide to the essentials of touch, biomechanics, and positioning options for a multitude of strategies to treat all major conditions encountered in a bodywork practice.
The book is divided into three sections. “Fundamentals” covers basic skills of palpation, explaining the deeper layers of the body and presenting detailed instruction on working with these layers to release tension. This section gives clear information on the proper use of knuckles, fist, forearms, and elbows in preventing injury to the therapist. “Strategies” offers more precise protocols and treatment plans for the entire body with emphasis on client positioning options to stretch muscles rather than just kneading tissues. “Caveats” details areas in which the practitioner needs to exercise caution.
Deep Tissue Massage presents a wealth of information in a way the therapist can immediately utilize. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and includes a preface to the new edition, a foreword, an index, a Suggested Reading list, and extended sections on integrating deep-tissue massage into bodywork practice and the psychology of treating injuries.

Format:Paperback
This is a great book - one of the few massage books with real detail on how to actually perform deep tissue massage.
It probably won't be much use to people not already well versed in massage but to practitioners it's a gold-mine.

I was amazed when this book arrived the morning after I ordered it as I had chosen the free super saver delivery option.
This book has come at the right time for me as a newly qualified massage therapist within the first year of practising independently.I am finding common complaints from my clients and I really want to improve my skills in order to make a real difference to their quality of lives...not just a relaxing massage but one which will help resolve underlying musculo-skeletal issues. It is also essential that I learn safe techniques which this book covers as well as giving advice to the therapist about protecting his or her own joints during treatment.
There is also a section which encourages the therapist to make the transition from techniques learnt on a massage course to giving confidence in being able to treat each clients needs needs and problems individualy and treat them accordingly.
This book is written by a well known and respected advance therapist who practises what he preaches. The book is clearly laid out and easy to work from. The diagrams and pictures are clear and helpful. This book will allow me to fulfil my CPD requirements without having to attend an expensive seminar. I would definitely recomend this book.
