<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Featuring more than 250 photographs and 50 anatomical drawings, this revised edition of <i>Deep Tissue Massage </i>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.<i> Deep Tissue Massage </i>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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Art's passion, teaching expertise, and therapeutic knowledge blend beautifully in this user-friendly text.
