It responds to the specific massage needs of professional, amateur, recreation, and rehabilitative sports and exercise participants. The text itself is divided into four units. Unit One covers the world of the athlete and the background information needed to understand movement and fitness. Unit Two is a review of massage in relation to this populaiton, specific skills needed to address the conditions experienced, and a comprehensive and detailed protocol as a foundation for working with this client base. Unit Three concerns injury and treatment regimens, including specific massage protocols. Unit Four provides detailed case studies for understanding how the information presented fits into a goal-oriented treatment process. The book contains hundreds of color drawings and schematics and is typeset and formatted so as to be most accessible to the student reader. The accompanying DVD concentrates on demonstrating the skills presented.
