Massage therapy and bodywork have become widely accepted in today's culture as both relaxation techniques and adjuncts to the rehabilitation of many disorders and diseases. Denning (an independent scholar) has written a ready reference book containing over 2,000 definitions and terms likely to be encountered by students and professionals in the field. Beyond the provision of basic information on massage and bodywork, what adds significant value are the extensive appendixes, which range from the American Massage Therapy Association Code of Ethics and a suggested reading list to medical codes for massage therapy and data on licensure for all US states and Canadian provinces. Another notable appendix offers extensive basic information on muscles of the body, including the name, origin, insertion, action, nerve, and artery for over 130 muscles. The illustrations in this handy pocket reference are beneficial and instructive in demonstrating precise locations of nerves and muscles. Another appendix, "Diseases, Pathologies, and Syndromes Defined," familiarizes the reader with the myriad benefits that clients might enjoy from massage therapy and bodywork. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended.
