Summary: Great information, much needed for students and prof's
Comment: My massage school offered very little information about injury prevention, so this book was an eye-opener for me. I think many students and even professionals don't take care of their own bodies and need the informaton that's in this book. Many of my fellow students became injured while they were in school and didn't know how to deal with it. I have many friends who are massage therapists, and when they have pain they don't know why or what to do about it. I have had pain in my arms several times, and this book helped me figure out why and get the right treatment to keep it from getting worse. I would recommend this book for any massage therapist.

Summary: Must buy for massage therapist and bodyworkers
Comment: I'm a massage therapist and found this book very preventive. I helped me prevent chronic injuries of the hands associated with massage therapists. For this, I am very grateful to the author of this book. Remember your hands are extremely valuable as massage therapists. This book is a must buy for every massage student and massage therapist. I also highly recommend the following for the national boards which is sold on amazon:
The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers
Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3.
Author: Patrick Leonardi
These 3 books helped me pass the boards along with my tortora anatomy and physiology textbook.

Summary: Who are you listening to?
Comment: This book was written by a woman who injured herself in massage school and then, instead of becoming a massage therapist, wrote this book and now makes her living teaching seminars and selling books. So she may be an expert in what caused HER injury, but does not appear to have any experience actually being a healthy therapist. If your school did not teach anything at all about body mechanics, technique adjustment, or hand safety, you may need this book - but if your school is even the least bit responsible in teaching these skills this book is just an introduction to the concepts. If you need advanced ideas, you won't find them here. Big print, low-quality photos, and self-congratulation seem to be the hallmarks of the book, and I'm glad I was able to leaf through it and not waste my money buying it.
