5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pathology guide for massage students, May 29 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Pathology A to Z: Handbook for Massage Therapists (Hardcover)
This is a great book for learning pathology. I'm a massage therapist and this helped me to learn certain conditions such as fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis for school exams and for the national boards. If you really want to know the kind of questions asked on the National Certification Examination get the following on amazon: "The Ulimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers" (Volume 1), (Volume 2), and (Volume 3). Each volume covers each section of the National Certification Examination so thoroughly and the questions really help you know which areas you are weak or strong in.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great assistant Massage therapists, April 28 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pathology A to Z: A handbook for massage therapists (Hardcover)
This book is very helpful to the massage therapist. It helps with having a short description of the disease, what strokes to use, and the best way to position the body, and a rough idea of how often you should give the client a massage

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent comprehensive text and reference, Oct 20 2008
By Maigren - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pathology A to Z: Handbook for Massage Therapists (Hardcover)
This text has a good balance of information and brevity. It is highly usable, and perfect for any massage office or facility to educate the staff. I wish this text had been used in my massage school.
