Pathology A-Z: A Handbook for Massage Therapists

The demand for massage therapy as a tool to deal with stress, pain and various pathological conditions is based on an increasing awareness of its incredible effectiveness in helping the body heal itself when administered under proper conditions. A solid understanding of how the body works, becomes unwell and heals itself is what distinguishes a person as a therapist rather than a hobbyist.

Both students and practicing massage therapists will welcome Dr. Premkumar's handbook. It will help them reach a high level of understanding of the relationship between massage and pathological conditions. It is not intended as a textbook that explains what this relationship is and how it works, but rather as a study guide or quick reference to enrich or refresh the memory of what the condition is and what relevance message therapy has to it.
