Synopsis
This richly illustrated text teaches the basic techniques of clinical massage therapy by embedding illustrations of internal structures directly into photographs of live models. Each muscle or muscle group is shown, along with surrounding structures, surface landmarks, and the therapist's hands. Useful as a textbook of clinical massage and anatomy, this text can also be used as a practical patient communication tool. Basic clinical techniques such as compression, stripping massage, myofascial stretching and cross-fiber friction are included. Suggestions of draping options correspond to illustrations of draping techniques. Appendices include pain referral zones by region, Greek and Latin prefixes and suffixes, and a glossary of terms.

I bought it about 6 months ago when starting a sports and remedial massage course. It has since been added to the essential reading material for the course. The best feature of the book in my opinion is the drawing of muscles onto a person when someone is massaging them, showing the direction to massage the fibres. Also has information on the origins, intertions and actions all geared towards the massage therapist. I certainly am glad I bought it!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Feel that Anat & Phys is my weak point so I bought this book. It's brilliant and is giving me total confidence of gaining a '3D' understanding and knowledge of Anatomy. It's well thought out, clearly written and the pictures are amazing. Nearest thing you'll get to owning a pair of 3D specs I would imagine! This book was written for those already with a grounding in massage ie not total beginners. However it starts from the basics and explains them well - and if you're intending on going on to clinical, or 'sports' massage then it's a book that you can 'grow' into. Overall this book is completely accessible and helpful for both students and professionals. It seems a perfect resource for learning anatomy/new massage techniques/anatomical reference/treatment approach etc. I could go on and on. Fantastic.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Also clear directions for working on muscles, referral areas and muscle groups. Lies flat so you can look at it while practising without it flapping shut and getting oily! The most helpful book I have come across and well worth buying.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 5 customer reviews...
