Summary

With more time constraints during their studies, physiotherapy students need to make the most of their practical sessions in order to develop their massage skills. Massage for Therapists is an essential text specifically written for physiotherapists on massage and is highly recommended by physiotherapy teachers. The new edition of Massage for Therapists has been revised and updated throughout and includes new illustrations and photographs. The book has been expanded to include new chapters on Sports Injuries, Scientific Effects of Massage and Aromatherapy, with contributions from experts in physiotherapy including a member of the Olympic Sports Committee. Introducing a new format and page design, the large number of illustrations showing techniques of massage are clearly supported by a full explanation of the therapeutic application involved.
