Description

Brings together the findings of some of the most respected researchers on the effectiveness of massage therapy. These findings provide important additions to the evidence base that the profession needs to support its practice. Ed: G.Rich (2002) 212pp


The research findings are grouped into four sections:

· Methods and massage

· Massage research on various conditions

· Massage across the life-span

· Massage and the workplace

Each section starts with an introductory overview by the editor which helps to highlight the relevance of the findings to day-to-day practice. Topics include:

· Methodological issues in the design and conduct massage therapy research

· Massage therapy following spinal cord injury

· Hand massage in the agitated elderly

· Employee outcomes following work-site acupressure and massage

The opening chapter discusses the question ‘evidence-based massage therapy: a contradiction in terms?’ Those who read this book will find that there is no contradiction and that this will provide them with good evidence to persuade those who remain unconvinced. All those interested in this subject, massage therapists as well as their potential clients and members of other healthcare professions, will find this book presents a fascinating overview of the work being undertaken in this rapidly developing profession.
