Review
"This book is simply a must for all students and practitioners of the powerful therapy of massage. Mario-Paul Cassar, himself a very experienced tutor and practitioner, has written an excellent book... It commences with the History of Massage and follows with guidance on the procedures for 'Case Histories' and general client assessment. The rest of the book is devoted to pages of massage techniques all clearly explained and beautifully illustrated. This book could be used as a 'text book' for tutors of massage, surely a book that has long been needed by the profession and one that I hope to study from cover to cover."Newsletter of the Guild of Complementary Practitioners, October 1999
is an attractive book, clearly laid out with excellent photographs which show tissue movement and therefore illustrate well the descriptions in the text. Diagrams alongside the photographs clarify specific points.
The text covers most essential aspects of the theory of massage. Some sections are dealt with in detail - background information is given to a number of clinical conditions and symptoms... The description of modifications of the techniques when the patient is unable to lie prone is comprehensive, as is the chapter on abdominal massage."Physiotherapy, April 2000
is an excellent book that aims to provide a practical yet scientific approach to massage therapy.
...throughout the whole book, movements are clearly shown in photographs and diagrams.
...this book achieves its aim and is correctly written for its chosen audience, providing an informative text to the student of massage and acting as a reference manual for the professional therapist."Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies, December 2000
