Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology for Massage Therapies

Description

This book provides a solid base for the student and early practitioner to learn the physical make-up of the body, giving a broad introduction to the body's physical functioning. - By Su Fox and Darian Pritchard. (2001) 288pp

There has been a tremendous increase in interest in massage over the past five years, which has led to more and more colleges running course. There are many generic anatomy and physiology books on the market. This is the first book ever to address anatomy, physiology and pathology, specifically aimed at the massage therapist. The emphasis is on the body systems and aspects most relevant to the dynamics of massage, such as muscle activity, stress response, tension and relaxation, and the effect of touch. This is the first book that covers the anatomy and physiology syllabus established by the General Council of Massage Therapy (GCMT) as the National Industry Standard for massage in the UK. Fully illustrated in two colours with beautifully crafted drawings, the book looks at:

· Terminology

· Chemistry of the body

· Cells, Tissues, Organs, and Body Systems

· Movement Systems - the Main Bones and Skeletal Muscles

· Communication Systems - the Nervous, endocrine and Immune Systems

· Maintenance, Growth and Repair - The Respiratory, Digestive, Cardiovascular, Urinary and Reproductive Systems
