A book of repair?

[Shiloh]

Is there a book that anyone would recommend that lists different conditions, and then the best way to treat/massage them? Or does most of everyone's experience come from length of experience and CEU's?

I'm starting to see people with a lot of the same problems, and I'm really wanting to figure out the best procedure for them.

Clinical Massage Therapy by Fiona Rattray and Linda Ludwig.

A book of repair?

Massage for Orthopedic Conditions (Hendrickson)
Orthopedic Massage (Lowe)
and
Basic Clinical Massage Therapy (Clay)

But totally keep alert to any workshops that would help you with the conditions that keep coming up for you.

I really like the Ratray and Ludwig book, too. I like Whitney Lowe's stuff a lot, but I think the Ratray book is a bit more step by step, which can be helpful, depending on your level of experience and comfort.

Don't know Clay, but will have to check that out.

Wow Clinical Massage Therapy by Fiona Rattray and Linda Ludwig must be a good one with everyone's replies not to mention the price! I'm looking for a cheap one, but it looks like I may have to shell out some dough. Anyone have an extra copy around that they want to sell cheap?

I have to echo Rattray and Ludwig as well....this is what I call my massage "Bible".

Just call it an investment....finding a cheap copy might be like trying to get a copy of Travell cheap. :shock: Good Luck.
