Present this quick, effective method for assessing and managing common medical conditions! The central tool of this text is the decision tree, a simple flowchart that helps students quickly determine the optimal massage therapy approach for specific medical conditions. A Decision Tree is included for each of the more than 50 conditions discussed in the book, with massage considerations listed for numerous additional conditions in brief. Also unique to this text are questions therapists can ask clients during the interview process to help the therapist understand not just the medical condition, but how it presents in a particular client.

Wendy Stone, Wendy Stone -- "I have not seen the clinical thinking process outlined so clearly and simply, and in such detail in any other text."--Wendy Stone Lisa Mertz, Lisa Mertz -- "I continue to anticipate the publication of this text so I can use it in my clinical courses...I am looking forward to using this book!"-Lisa Mertz Donna Kenny, Donna Kenny -- "Ms. Walton gives helpful, easy to understand information which is helpful to the Massage Therapy student. As helpful as this information is to the MT student, I feel it is invaluable to the novice Massage Therapy practitioner. Once a student graduates, he/she will lose the 'security blanket' of the instructor's guidance. This book, especially the Decision Trees and [Interview Questions], help the new practitioner make an educated, well thought out decision."--Donna Kenny
