Product Description
Featuring more than 250 photographs and 50 anatomical drawings, Deep Tissue Massage is the standard guide to the essentials of touch, biomechanics, and positioning options for a multitude of strategies to treat all major conditions encountered in a bodywork practice.The book is divided into three sections. “Fundamentals” covers basic skills of palpation, explaining the deeper layers of the body and presenting detailed instruction on working with these layers to release tension. This section gives clear information on the proper use of knuckles, fist, forearms, and elbows in preventing injury to the therapist. “Strategies” offers more precise protocols and treatment plans for the entire body with emphasis on client positioning options to stretch muscles rather than just kneading tissues. “Caveats” details areas in which the practitioner needs to exercise caution.Deep Tissue Massage presents a wealth of information in a way the therapist can immediately utilize. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and includes a preface to the new edition, a foreword, an index, a Suggested Reading list, and extended sections on integrating deep-tissue massage into bodywork practice and the psychology of treating injuries. |

Deep Tissue Massage by A. Kirch (Ft. Collins Co)  4 Stars
February 08, 2009
I found the book to have helpful techniques and I am glad I have it as a resource, although it is not advanced enough for my liking. It is good for newer massage therapists, but as I said I think it is a good resource for my library.

Best book on Deep Tissue Massage and Structural work! period! by Mr Z (CA) 5 Stars
October 11, 2008
BUY this book, and go buy his video companion set! I have read many different deep tissue books over the years, and this one is by far the best! It is interesting to read, covers all the important topics, it clearly demonstrates the techniques and he offers quality advice on current political issues in the industry. I had no idea that there were chiropractars trying to limit our practice! Its a great book, probably one of the best!.. Up there with Anatomy Trains, Leon Chaitow books, and Trivell/Simmons Trigger point manual.
