Publisher Comments:

This is the anatomy and physiology text written especially for students and practitioners of massage therapy. This edition integrates massage therapy concepts within the anatomy and physiology content, including sections that discuss how massage interacts with the body systems. The book covers all of the major body systems--integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems--that are crucial to effective massage therapy, and provides an overview of other body systems to give students a well-rounded understanding of anatomy and physiology.

Book News Annotation:

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. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
