Manual of Clinical Assessment for Massage Therapists

Clinical Assessment for Massage Therapy: A practical guide brings together a range of examination and assessment techniques which are otherwise only found in a variety of different places. The author presents them in a way which is specifically relevant to massage therapists. The ability to assess a client’s condition accurately is crucial if massage therapy is to be given safely, appropriately and effectively.
The book is presented in two main parts
Part I: Essentials of Assessment addresses various background topics which need to be understood when preparing for assessment. These include a chapter on the assessment of gait and posture and another on pain.
Part II: Regional Assessment describes in detail the individual assessment techniques for each part of the body and gives guidance on how and when to use them.
