To maximize treatment outcomes from manual therapy, you must understand both anatomy and the physiological response of the body to various techniques. The Anatomy and Physiology of Sports Massage guides you through this process by combining anatomical landmarks for palpation with the function of the muscles to help you pair specific treatment techniques with the intended response. You¡¦ll get guidance on different types of manual therapies and their role in recovery from exercise as well as in treating and preventing chronic musculoskeletal injuries.
Photos throughout the book demonstrate hands-on treatments for each area of the body and are overlaid with anatomical illustrations, making it easy to pinpoint the muscles targeted by each therapy. The massage treatments are accompanied by explanations of how to perform the techniques, and descriptions of each muscle outline the origin, insertion, and action of the muscle at the joint, along with stressor considerations that are important to take into account as you work with an athlete.
Other features include advice on considerations for sports massage, such as avoiding lotions in certain scenarios, and Why Do We Care? sidebars that reiterate the practical benefits for athletes or clients. Additional information about the types and benefits of self-care treatments is also included:
Compressive massage tools, such as foam rollers
Decompression items, such as therapeutic tape
Percussive techniques that use vibration, such as a massage gun
Hydrotherapy that uses hot or cold water, such as saunas or cold plunges
The Anatomy and Physiology of Sports Massage helps you understand the why behind many of the techniques and responses seen in manual therapy. Whether you are a seasoned clinician, a clinical instructor, an educator, or a student, there is value in reviewing your practice to ensure that you are providing the best possible therapies and techniques that match desired client outcomes. |
