Written for physical therapists, massage therapists and occupational therapists,

/ 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 / Plan for the discharge of the client
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" / Discusses the interpersonal aspects of massage in clinical care
