This unique book takes care to consider the needs of the massage therapist, who previously may have had to adapt his\/her own methodology from descriptions aimed at other health care professionals.   An accompanying website demonstrating the palpation and treatment methods supplements the text.  Abundant illustrations enrich the text and bring content to life to make it easily understandable. Bulleted point text and summaries allow the reader to quickly find information and review important content. Easy-reference format and accessible language help break down concepts. Accompanying website [previously a DVD] demonstrates real-life examples of the palpation and treatment methods.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49533874766097,"sku":"GOR003594101","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50324719599889,"sku":"CIN044310218XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52954249724177,"sku":"GOR014665472","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/044310218X.jpg?v=1751166347"},{"product_id":"massage-therapist-s-guide-to-treating-headaches-and-neck-pain-with-videos-book-sandy-fritz-ms-bctmb-cmbe-9780443067280","title":"A Massage Therapist's Guide to Treating Headaches and Neck Pain with Videos","description":"The massage therapist's guide to treating headaches and neck pain is a practical guide for the massage therapist to assist them in identifying appropriate massage treatment for those experiencing headaches and neck pain.
