Anatomy & Physiology: The Massage Connection

by Kalyani Premkumar

Created specifically for massage therapy students, the Third Edition of Anatomy & Physiology: The Massage Connection elucidates anatomy and physiology with clear, concise language complemented by an extraordinary multilayer art program. Organized to cover each body system and align with current massage therapy curricula, topics have been streamlined so that those areas critical for massage therapy—such as the musculoskeletal system—receive special coverage, whereas excessive detail in areas not relevant for massage is omitted. This edition also delivers a host of review activities in addition to a blockbuster ancillary package of online tools and complementary resources.

   

Anatomy & Physiology: The Massage Connection is just that—the link between the science of medicine and the art of massage as well as a bridge for students to a successful career in massage therapy.

This book was very informative for me, a massage therapist. But the reveiw questions at the end of the chapters were infuriating! They were really dumb questions and had some mistakes. All in all it was too much information for the massage therapist. We need to study hard certain aspects. But it is good to know the information is there if I want to study it further.

I'm not a big fan of this book. It swings between far too much and far too little depending on the chapter. However, I did get a 97 on my final exam but I think that speaks more to the ability of my instructor to teach the material rather than the book itself.

Oi, such a great text for basics of A&P and basic pathology. This also helped me test out of Anatomy for massage school, but it is excellent to have around for reference.
