Orthopedic Assessment in Massage Therapy

Definitely Not as advertised. Condition says **very good** cover was covered in scratches and is bent with old creases and smudged inside. Thrift store stickers attached... For over 50$ no.

Perfect condition!

This book has been very helpful in my massage practice. I would recommend it to any massage therapist who wants to take their massage business beyond the spa and help those dealing with injuries and chronic pain. It helps to know exactly which muscles are affected so you know where to work and when best to refer out.

it is a very detailed book but I was disappointed in the black and white pictures, I believe colored onnes would have enhanced its quality, it also makes for easier viewing and if you are a visual person this is important, I certainly wouldn't buy it again

This was a required classroom text for my medical massage class. It does a good job of describing the most common medical conditions that therapists encounter. It gives detail on the disease/disorder, how best to treat, and what to avoid. It is not a how to type of manual, just gives you tools to make assessments.

The book was just as described in good condition!

Very informative. Well written, easy to understand. This is truly a book for every LMTs library that has an interest in orthopedic massage!

I have other books from W. Lowe & they are excellent.My professor recommended it to me.Unfortunately this book never made it to my house.Amazon.com graciously refunded me.I am still planning on buying this book.

This is an excellent resource for any remedial massage / manipulative therapist. It's a few years old but still contains excellent information, I particularly like Whitney's sections entitled 'explanation' which do just that and help round out an overall understanding...a very useful touch. I would defiantly buy an updated version if one were to come out.A couple of gripes on the indexing where a couple of the tests weren't listed, but aside from that one of my top 5 therapy resource books out of over a hundred on my shelves.

I may not be the best person in the world to review this book as I got it as an aid to my studies. (I am doing a course in muscular therapy). That said, I found it very very helpful. It clearly explains common injuries and disorders associated with various parts of the body (ankle, leg, knee, hip, shoulder, spine, shoulder arm). There is useful info explaining how the different tests have an effect on the muscle, joint,etc., and this in turn gives one a better understanding. The photos are particularly helpful, as is the consistent approach in each of the chapters. I'd give it a 5 star rating, but I haven't used any other texts to compare it to!

Great book, received quickly

Expensive but worth it for any therapist. So much useful information.
