Beard's Massage 5/e - Principles and Practice of Soft Tissue Manipulation

First published in 1964, Beard’s Massage is a classic physical
therapy massage text originally authored by Gertrude Beard, a
pioneering physical therapist in the 1920s who treated patients using
soft tissue massage techniques that remain the basis of practice
today. Now in its fifth edition, with a new title, this classic text
has been expanded and updated throughout to provide you with an
overview of massage, a description of massage techniques, information
on the benefits of massage, and specific techniques for a variety of
