Description

This is an essential, one-of-a-kind resource for gaining the skills and knowledge you need to provide safe, effective massage therapy to patients in acute care settings and private practice clients who are medically frail. As demand grows for massage therapy in acute care, many bodyworkers seek to broaden their ability to meet this important need. To paraphrase the author:: For many touch therapists, massage is more than a job or a profession--its a calling .

With the knowledge gained from this expertly written book, you will be able to confidently provide massage therapy in the hospital, other care settings, and for clients affected by health problems. Its the ideal guide for student bodyworkers and practitioners, educators, hospital administrators, and a wide range of medical professionals.
