5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book for Massage Therapist
Reviewed in the United States on 14 August 2009

Well organized and concise. Many pathologies are discussed. The author get straight to the point without a lot of excess wordiness. This is very useful for Massage Therapist. I also like that she has shown photos of so many skin diseases, both contagious and non. You never know what someone will present with on your table, it is nice to be able to identify what is going on with their skin....especially if it's contagious. Also, every pathology has complete indications and contraindications listed.

5.0 out of 5 stars In depth but CLEAR
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2007

I took a gamble with this based on thoughtful reviews on both Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com and, thankyou reviewers!

Although a fairly hefty tome I'm delighted to see that unlike the valuable but often dry A+P 'almost bible' of Tortorro and Grabowski this is written rather well, and is 'need to know' pathology for body workers - it really IS 'a massage therapist's guide', not an osteopaths, not a junior houseman's, and as such suits me splendidly. I'm also impressed by an extensive, chapter based bibliography which is particularly useful in that it cites web sites where further information can be found.

This book really cuts to the chase, explaining a wealth of common (and not so common) presentations, explaining the rationale behind presentations, detailing pharmacological treatment approaches, comparing and contrasting similar presentations and indicating the advisability of massage.

Whilst some reviews have expressed disappointment that detailed massage techniques are not offered - this book is already a hefty 700 pages, and around A4 in size, so it can't be expected to do everything it does and everything else as well.

Perhaps Ms Werner should be persuaded to write a companion volume with detailed specific techniques linked with certain conditions - though much can be gleaned from various remedial massage technique books already in the market.

This item arrived very quickly and in better condition than described. I have saved so much money by shopping here on Amazon because my school charges hundreds of dollars for these books. Thanks for a easy smooth transaction.
This book is in brand new condition and it had the CD. I'm impressed with the quality of this book that I got for a fraction of the price.
