Review

, Davis G. Simons MD -- "Carla-Krystin and Paul provide a valuable guide for making evidence-based decisions on the effective treatment of myofascial trigger points, and it is recommended reading for all those using massage therapy."-Davis G. Simons, MD, author of Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual , Janet R. Kahn, PhD, NCBMT, Research Assistant Professor -- "Andrade and Clifford provide in this book not just the idea of becoming more evidence-based and outcome-based in our work, but also the means to do that. Whatever kind of learner the reader is, they provide what is needed in order for students and practitioners to give clients the best, which is, after all, what they deserve."-Janet R. Kahn, PhD, NCBMT Journal of Massage Science, 01-NOV-09 -- "Recently our Journal was asked to review the Second Edition of a textbook called Outcome-Based Massage. Usually we don't review books and we didn't plan to change our policy. However after reading even small sections from different chapters we realized that we hold a gem of a publication in our hands. "The textbook takes the students and practitioners from the very first steps of massage therapy science to the application of different medical massage modalities (neuromuscular therapy, connective tissue massage, lymph drainage massage, etc., etc.) for the somatic rehabilitation. Even rarely mentioned in massage literature percussion massage to enhance the bronchial drainage in cases of chronic pulmonary abnormalities is in the book. Each chapter has proper references and every section has great educational and practical value. "The great strengths of this textbook lies in its attention to detail and the dedication of the authors in building up the practitioners' clinical thinking. We can rave about the value of the textbook for several pages but we think that it is simply better for the readers to get this publication and we are sure it won't disappoint you. "We think that the authors made only one mistake. The title of the textbook does not reflect its value and frankly one may pass the textbook in the catalog just because of that. This, of course, is our personal opinion."-Journal of Massage Science

Book Description

Written for physical therapists, massage therapists and occupational therapists, this text introduces an evidence-based clinical reasoning process for incorporating massage into therapeutic practice. The authors instruct readers in how to identify impairments, select and apply appropriate massage techniques, and integrate massage with other treatments. The book integrates a wide variety of techniques into a single problem-solving format consistent with the APTA's "Guide to Physical Therapist Practice". This Second Edition includes step-by-step examples of massage sequences and features superb photographic illustrations, boxes, charts, figures, and clinical examples.

The companion website contains approximately 70 video clips that show how to perform many of the techniques and sequences illustrated in the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Occupational therapy students and massage, Feb 26 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Outcome-Based Massage (Paperback)
OUTCOME-BASED MASSAGE Carla-Krystin Andrade & Paul Clifford Lippincott William's & Wilkins 2001 373pp £22.50 ISBN 0 7818 1743 4

The American authors of this book provide a very thorough view of a wide range of massage approaches including superficial reflex, superficial fluidd, neuromuscular, connective tissue, passive movement and percussive techniques. The detail on treatment techniques make it more appropriate for the student physiotherapist, but the occupational therapist working in neurology or rehabilitation is likely to find the diagrams and photographs in the text helpful in informing their practice.

As an occupational therapy student, I found the focus on outcome measures and the treatment process helpful in considering my own practice. Looking at the links between impairment and outcome and the approach to goal-setting is of interest.

The chapter on the best posture for the clinician in delivering treatment helped, me not just with this kind of treatment, but also in considering my general physical use of self and my use in manual handling. There is an emphasis on the clinician preparing herself for treatment, an approach which occupational therapists, in the heat of the moment, can sometimes forget.

This is a book which I am unlikely to read cover to cover but which I will dip in to when I want to understand how to deal with physical problems. I think it will help me to interpret a client's dysfunction more effectively than I could otherwise have done. I am not sure that occupational therapists will want to go out and buy it for their course but it would be worth persuading your physiotherapist friends to buy and then borrowing it as required! One word of warning, the book seems to be designed to use as a practical reference manual and is printed on light weight paper, which makes it easy to carry around but not very robust.

1.0 out of 5 stars Out-Based Massage, May 13 2003
This review is from: Outcome-Based Massage (Paperback)
This book was one of my required text during Massage school. I found it to be a very hard read. Too much fluff & not enough stuff. The majority of my fellow classmates felt the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for clinicians in the field, Nov 24 2003
This review is from: Outcome-Based Massage (Paperback)
I was impressed by the high caliber and daily usefulness of this book. I found the organization by the different levels of the tissues that were being treated innovative and practical. Each section provided lots of hands-on guides with excellent photographs, as well as details of the scientific basis for the technique.

I especially like the tables the authors provide that help me quickly locate information. My colleagues and I find ourselves checking the book when we need quick info on a patient we are treating.
