"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 encountered. Each condition is covered in a consistent format that includes a brief definition and description of the condition. Associated conditions and diseases are indicated with bold font to direct readers to the appropriate other entries. A list of signs and symptoms. A description of common treatment options, with emphasis on those that might influence choices about massage. A list of types of medications that are often recommended to treat the condition; this issue can be further pursued in Drug Handbook for Massage Therapists. And a discussion of massage considerations, including possible risks, benefits, and advice for practitioners." "More than 300 conditions are listed in alphabetical order, and cross-references for subtypes are found throughout the text."--BOOK JACKET.
