CLINICAL SPORTS MEDICINE FOR SOFT TISSUE THERAPISTS

Why has Clinical Sports Medicine been so popular with Soft Tissue Therapists / Myotherapists / Massage therapists?

  • Among sports medicine textbooks, it is the only one that truley integrates Soft Tissue Therapy into the treatment plan.
  • It provides an inexpensive, authoritative and accessible resource for massage therapists to have in the clinic alongside the specific massage texts.
  • Coauthored by Robert Granter, Soft Tissue Therapist, Australian Olympic Medal Team, 1992, 1996, 2000, this book contains pearls that are not found elsewhere. Robert was head of the Massage Team in Atlanta and Sydney, and has lectured widely of the role of Soft Tissue Massage Therapy in Sports Medicine.
  • As well as detailing massage therapy treatment, it provides useful background medical information such as interpreting X-rays, when to refer to physicians and physical therapists which is very helpful for massage therapists.
  • The symptom oriented layout of the book makes it easy to refer to a relevant section and scan it for potential serious diagnoses, and for other treatment ideas if the patient is progressing slowly.
  • The illustrations of assessment for every body part are particularly helpful. Together with the massage therapist’s expert “feel” for joint and muscle abnormality they permit the massage therapist to be much more confident in her or his assessment.
