This book introduces massage techniques for orthopedic conditions, promoting the alignment of soft tissue relating to pain and dysfunction. An essential manual for clinical massage therapy, it contains brief descriptions of rationale behind orthopedic massage, mechanisms of injury to and repair of soft tissue, and anatomy of each body area. The Second Edition also includes detailed assessment for each body region, discusses common lesions, and provides illustrated instructions on how to administer this scientifically based style of massage. Based on traditional orthopedic assessment protocols, coverage includes range of motion, passive and isometric testing, and tests that determine the severity of a condition or injury.
About this product: This text provides the physical therapist with the information they need to know about specific orthopedic surgeries and the rehabilitation techniques. Each chapter presents the indications and considerations for surgery; a detailed look at the surgical procedure, including the surgeon's perspective regarding rehabilitation concerns; and therapy guidelines to use in designing the rehabilitation program. In addition to including descriptions of each surgery, this book provides rehabilitation protocols for each surgery along with ways to trouble shoot within various patient populations (i.e. geriatric, athletic, pediatric, etc.). Unlike the more general orthopedic books, this book provides specific clinical information about individual orthopedic surgeries along with a chapter on soft tissue healing.
Each chapter is written by an MD and PT or OT providing both surgical and rehabilitation information.
Includes the latest, evidence-based therapy guidelines to help therapists design the most effective rehab programs for their patients.
Every chapter includes case study vignettes with critical thinking questions to encourage students to use clinical reasoning.
Provides detailed tables that break down therapy guidelines with rehab phases to give a quick resource to rehabilitation and therapy plans.
Includes the indications and considerations of specific surgical procedures to demonstrate why surgery should or should not be considered.

About this product: This guide to the evaluation of orthopaedic and athletic injuries uses a standard approach throughout (history, inspection, palpation, functional testing, special testing, neurological evaluation) and delineates the differences and similarities between clinical and on-field evaluation. Each chapter starts with a review of the bony areas, clinical anatomy and biomechanics of that part of the body and ends with a discussion of emergency or initial management of specific injuries. All special tests follow the same format throughout to help students visualize the procedures and develop the psychomotor skills of injury evaluation. Most common injuries are accompanied by a table highlighting the common clinical findings and the signs and symptoms.
About this product: Fully updated and revised Orthopedic Massage has been written for those interested in understanding and applying massage as an intervention for soft-tissue disorders. Recent research into the physiological effects of massage has strengthened the justification for its use in the treatment of soft-tissue pain and injury conditions. Orthopedic soft-tissue problems are common among the general population, whether from sports, occupational activities, or chronic pain. This text presents a comprehensive and in-depth look at the physiological nature of these conditions and the massage treatments most effective for their relief. A particular contribution this text makes is its validation for the role of massage in treating orthopedic conditions. In addition, it aims to help the clinician understand the relationship between the soft tissues to which they apply their techniques and the overall orthopedic disorder affecting their clients. Although written chiefly for massage practitioners, the lessons it teaches are relevant to any practitioner who is concerned with the treatment of soft-tissue injuries.

About this product: Whitney Lowe's new book belongs in the library of every massage therapist who deals with chronic or acute pain. Lowe sets the foundation by reviewing information concerning soft tissue dysfunction as it pertains to muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, fascia, nerves, cartilage, and bursa. Next, he proceeds to delineate a systematic approach to orthopedic assessment and treatment, with detailed information regarding clinical skills (using observation, palpation, range of motion and resistance testing, and special orthopedic tests as well as taking a thorough client history). The text emphasizes the use of assessment for the purpose of ascertaining appropriate massage therapy treatment plans (including when it is best to refer out for diagnosis). Lowe includes a discussion of general soft tissue disorders, such as strains, trigger points, and tendinosis, but the heart of the book deals with specific parts of the body (e.g., foot, ankle, & leg; knee & thigh; hip & pelvis; lumbar & thoracic spine; cervical spine; and shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand) along with common pathologies that the massage therapist is likely to encounter. Within each section, Lowe includes charts such as muscles and actions, joints and motions, regions of possible nerve entrapment, references for assessments, and trigger point referral patterns. In less than 300 pages, this book organizes a wealth of complex information. . . it can be read cover-to-cover but it will remain most useful as a resource book to be referred to repeatedly. NOTE: This book is one of two required texts for Whitney Lowe's new e-course (see www.OMERI.com for further information). The texts are resources used while working through realistic case studies and provocative "clinical questions." I had owned and valued the books before taking my first course, but I am now even more conscious of the scope and complexity of information contained. I cannot recommend the e-course too strongly to anyone interested in improving their clinical decision-making skills for use with clients who are in pain.
