Orthopedic Massage 2/e: Theory and Technique

도서내용

Fully updated and revised Orthopedic Massage has been written for those interested in understanding and applying
massage as an intervention for soft-tissue disorders. Recent research into the physiological effects of massage has
strengthened the justification for its use in the treatment of soft-tissue pain and injury conditions. Orthopedic soft-
tissue problems are common among the general population, whether from sports, occupational activities, or chronic pain.
This text presents a comprehensive and in-depth look at the physiological nature of these conditions and the massage
treatments most effective for their relief. A particular contribution this text makes is its validation for the role of
massage in treating orthopedic conditions. In addition, it aims to help the clinician understand the relationship
between the soft tissues to which they apply their techniques and the overall orthopedic disorder affecting their
clients. Although written chiefly for massage practitioners, the lessons it teaches are relevant to any practitioner
who is concerned with the treatment of soft-tissue injuries.
