Designed as a teaching manual of deep tissue and neuromuscular therapy, this book encourages an intuitive, artistic approach to massage coupled with a secure technical and scientific foundation. It includes the philosophy behind creating an integrated plan for performing massage therapy, with guidelines for designing and executing a session as well as practical applications of a deep tissue massage. Information on anatomy, kinesiology, and injury conditions are derived from the extensive bibliography. It features reference charts that summarize the material contained before each massage lesson, and diagrams for review that are easy to follow.
