Description
Written for physical therapists, massage therapists and occupational therapists, "Outcome-Based Massage" is the first text to introduce soft tissue massage techniques with functional outcomes in mind. By establishing a critical thinking process for incorporating massage into therapeutic practice, students and clinicians from a variety of health care professions can benefit from this valuable guide. This unique text instructs readers how to: identify impairments through the client examination; select and apply massage techniques for treating impairments and achieving functional outcomes; integrate massage techniques with other treatment techniques; and, plan for the discharge of the client.
Its outstanding features further guide readers: demonstrates how to use techniques in practice with superb photographic illustrations, boxes, charts, figures, and clinical examples; presents practice sequences that lead readers through the application of each technique; provides 23 categories of impairment-level outcomes of care for orthopedic, neurologic, cardiopulmonary, psychoneuroimmunologic, and central nervous system conditions that can be achieved using massage techniques; incorporates current models of disablement, critical thinking methods, and evaluation techniques into a single problem-solving approach that is consistent with the APTA's "Guide to Physical Therapist Practice"; and, discusses the interpersonal aspects of massage in clinical care.
