Whitney Lowe, Orthopedic Assessment in Massage Therapy
Orthopedic Assessment in Massage Therapy is written for the soft-tissue practitioner or student seeking to improve their understanding and treatment of soft-tissue dysfunction. Any healthcare practitioner involved in treating soft-tissue disorders with massage will find this text beneficial.
Orthopedic Assessment applies established orthopedic assessment methods to massage therapy evaluation. How soft-tissues function, their roles, and the primary ways in which they are damaged are explored in the first part of the book. The symptoms, causes, and evaluation of numerous common conditions are discussed in detail in the remaining chapters.
Assessment is a mandatory step, without which treatment would be a guessing game based on assumptions, not clinical reasoning. -Whitney Lowe
