Disease Handbook for Massage Therapists is a quick reference for practicing massage therapists who need to make on-the-spot decisions on the applicability of their work when pathologies are present. The book covers a variety of conditions, listed alphabetically, and presents the following information on each condition: a brief definition and description, with associated diseases indicated in bold; a list of signs and symptoms; a description of common treatment options, particularly those that might influence choices about massage; a list of frequently recommended medications, which can be further explored in Drug Handbook for Massage Therapists; and a discussion of massage considerations, including risks, benefits, and advice for practitioners. A companion Website willoffer the searchable full text online.
