Product Overview

How do diseases and disorders affect the design of massage treatment plans?


What precautions are needed?


When is massage contraindicated?


Develop the knowledge you need to evaluate a client based on how diseases and disorders affect the systems of the body and the critical-thinking skills to apply that knowledge in practice.


A functional approach to pathophysiology fosters understanding of the inter-relationship between body systems and human function. Clients are concerned about how a disorder affects their quality of life and ability to function. My goal for this book is to guide readers to use clinical reasoning to create client-specific, outcome-based massage treatment plans from this vital informationsigns, symptoms, diagnosis, and client functional concerns.Virginia S. Cowen, PhD, LMT, RYT, CSCS
