Traumatic scar tissue management - massage therapy principles, practice and protocols
Keeney Smith, Nancy
Traumatic scar tissue management - massage therapy principles, practice and protocols - Edinburgh : Handspring Publishing, 2016
Introduction; Skin and fascia; The lymphatic system; Neurology; Wound healing and scars; Burns, mastectomies and other traumatic scars; Trauma; Communication and the therapeutic relationship; Assessment and treatment; Comparison of before and after treatment; Client and therapist self care
The management of scar tissue is a huge and growing problem for massage and other manual therapists. Research has showed that appropriate massage treatment can have significant results both physically and psychologically. Existing books have chapters on the problem but there is no practical manual available on the subject at the present time which tells the therapist what to do (and what not to do). This book fills that gap, explaining the physiologic and pathophysiologic background, and providing practical guidance about how to help patients."
