Premkumar (U. of Calgary and Mount Royal College, Canada) has 20
years of teaching experience. Written for massage therapy students,
instructors, practitioners, and policy makers, her text has been
substantially reorganized based on feedback from users of the first
edition. It now contains an introductory chapter, followed by 11
chapters each focusing on one body system, with important pathology
topics and relevant case studies incorporated into the individual
chapters. The color has been significantly heightened in the
illustrations, and the text is produced in hardcover for greater
durability.
