Long description:
Get the science background you need to master massage therapy! Mosby’s Essential Sciences for Therapeutic Massage, 7th Edition, provides full-color, easy-to-read coverage of anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology, and pathologic conditions for the entire body. Realistic examples apply A&P content directly to the practice of massage therapy, and learning activities help you review key material and develop critical thinking skills. Written by noted massage therapy educators Sandy Fritz and Luke Allen Fritz, this guide provides a solid foundation in the sciences and positions you for success on licensing and certification exams.
- Updated and streamlined MBLEx preparation questions at the end of each chapter, with additional questions available on the companion Evolve website, prepare you for licensure.
- Updated pathologies reflect what you will see in the field as a practitioner.
- Focus on essential content helps you study for and pass licensing and certification exams, including the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx) and Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB).
- Comprehensive coverage of biomechanics includes gait assessment and muscle testing activities, along with critical thinking questions and end-of-chapter case studies.
- Vibrant art program features more than 660 line drawings and photos showing muscle locations, attachments, and actions - required knowledge for passing certification exams and for practicing massage therapy.
- Sections on pathologic conditions include suggestions for referral protocols, as well as indications and contraindications for therapeutic massage.
