Massage Reference Books

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Sundae, and I'm going to show you some...three great books to use as reference as a massage therapist, and where you can find them. Now, these books are great, and they can be found in bookstores, libraries, and you can even find them online. And the first one that I recommend is Massage Therapy and Medications. Now, as a massage therapist, you can be a great massage therapist, but we're not doctors. And we're not familiar with every single medication out there, so we need that reference material handy for us to go and look back if we have a client that comes in, and we've never heard of their medication. We don't know what it is, we don't know what it does, and we don't know how it affects them. Great book! Number two is A Massage Therapist's Guide to Pathology, which means disease. And this is also a really handy reference guide for us. Like I said, we're not doctors, we're not familiar with everything, and this is a really great tool to help us be the best therapist that we can be. And the third one is Pharmacology for Massage Therapy, and it's basically along the same lines for Massage Therapy and Medications, since pharmacology deals with medications. But you can't ever have too much information. So, Pharmacology for Massage Therapy by Gene Wimble, A Massage Therapist's Guide to Pathology by Ruth Warner, and Massage Therapy and Medications by Randall Persaud. That's a little bit of info for ya. I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae."
