Product Description |
This superbly illustrated text familiarizes students with individual muscles and muscle systems and demonstrates basic clinical massage therapy techniques. More than 550 full-color illustrations of internal structures are embedded into photographs of live models to show each muscle or muscle group, surrounding structures, surface landmarks, and the therapist's hands. Students see clearly which muscle is being worked, where it is, where it is attached, how it can be accessed manually, what problems it can cause, and how treatment techniques are performed. This edition features improved illustrations of draping and includes palpation for each muscle. An accompanying Real Bodywork DVD includes video demonstrations of massage techniques from the book. |

 A MUST if you enjoy massage |
| Review Date: October 15, 2003 |
| Reviewer: Ramona Samuels, utah, Ut United States |
| After graduating from school I thought,"How many more books do I really need?" But I have no regrets buying this one- my therapist friends have borrowed it and realized they want it, as well. Artists have actually painted the muscles, including origin and insertion, over the photograph of each models body. Landmarks and hand positions are so easy to follow, and synergist muscles also noted for treatment purposes. I use this a lot as I work on clients form my home, it is very informative and well formatted. Various strokes as well as pressure and trigger points are also noted.
Not necesssarily for beginners, but perfect for expanding, or reviewing, what you already know. This book would also be very helpful in studying efforts for the NCBTMB national exams. I found it it perfect in review for my test. |
A Massage Therapy School Must!

| Reviewer: , Pompano Beach, Florida United States |
| This book has been incredibly helpful, from day one of massage therapy school. I have learned more about muscle anatomy from it than from our required anatomy book. The author uses real live humans with extremely realistic drawn muscles and bones superimposed on them, which gives you an excellent spatial perception of the anatomy and where it lies in the body. I HIGHLY recommend this book for massage therapy students, practitioners and pretty much anyone interested in muscular anatomy. STUPENDOUS BOOK!!!!! |
Schools should use this instead of The Trail Guide/Biel

| Reviewer: Karen Wallace, Napa, CA USA |
| I love this book. One of the best things about it is that instead of pen and ink drawings (like the Biel book) it has color drawings on top of real photos of people. I find this much more understandable and can quickly implement massage techniques it recommends for the particular muscle it is illustrating. Glad I bought it! |
Indispensable Reference

| Review Date: August 2, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Starman, Grayslake, IL USA |
| As a recent massage therapy school graduate, I bought Basic Clinical Massage Therapy: Integrating Anatomy and Treatment to help study for the NCE. I wish I would have had this book in school. It's the best book I've seen integrating anatomy and massage. Filled with excellent color illustrations and a well-organized layout, it's a highly recommended addition to any massage therapist's library, both for the student and long-time professional. |
Well-written book and a must buy

This book was quite organized and filled with lots of information important for the massage student needing to take the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. I used this book and the following which is also sold on amazon.com:
The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers
(Topics: Human Anatomy, Physiology and Kinesiology) Vol 1
(ISBN: 0971999643)The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers
(Topics: Clinical Pathology and Recognition of Various Conditions) Vol 2
(ISBN: 0971999651) The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers
(Topics: Massage Therapy and Bodywork: Theory, Assessment and Application. Professional Standards, Ethics and Business Practices) Vol 3 (ISBN: 097199966X) The last 3 study guides are on the mark with the type of questions asked on the national test. My advice is to buy all four books. I passed the national certification examination for therapeutic massage and bodywork easily with the help of these four books. |
