Remedial massage therapy has increased in popularity since the mid 1990s. There are now more courses than ever before which offer the student the opportunity to learn this versatile technique. "Remdial Massage Therapy" is a reference tool for any student or practitioner.
Remedial massage can be used on numerous conditions, and also be used in a variety of situations from the confines of a treatment room to the sports field. Fully illustrated with black and white photographs and line drawings, the book takes a comprehensive look at remedial massage. Key areas covered include the history of massage, different massage techniques, muscles and joints, and assessing the patient. A fully detailed section then goes on to cover specific areas of the body, from the neck and shoulder down to the feet and ankles.
