Featuring more than 250 photographs and 50 anatomical drawings,
Deep Tissue Massage 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.
Deep Tissue Massage 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.
Great book!Reviewed by T. Burt, 2010-02-18
I knew very little about massage therapy or the muscular structures
in a human body. I bought this book along with a portable massage
table to help with my wife's fibromyalgia.
This book does use some advanced terms, but overall, it is very
easy to read and to follow.
Great pictures and procedural advice.
Great serviceReviewed by Lovebug, 2009-04-28
I was surprised at how fast my package arrived. The book was in excellent condition & I would buy from this vendor again.
Deep Tissue MassageReviewed by A. Kirch, 2009-02-08
I found the book to have helpful techniques and I am glad I have it as a resource, although it is not advanced enough for my liking. It is good for newer massage therapists, but as I said I think it is a good resource for my library.
Well Worth The InvestmentReviewed by C. Richards, 2009-02-01
Plain and Simple, Art Riggs did an excellent job with this book. I highly recommend it to anyone especially body workers interested in deep tissue work. This is a book that should be on everyone book shelve.
Best book on Deep Tissue Massage and Structural work! period!Reviewed by Mr Z, 2008-10-11
BUY this book, and go buy his video companion set! I have read many different deep tissue books over the years, and this one is by far the best! It is interesting to read, covers all the important topics, it clearly demonstrates the techniques and he offers quality advice on current political issues in the industry. I had no idea that there were chiropractars trying to limit our practice! Its a great book, probably one of the best!.. Up there with Anatomy Trains, Leon Chaitow books, and Trivell/Simmons Trigger point manual.
