Next is an evidence-based presentation of the efficacy of massage therapy for conditions and populations often encountered in massage therapy practice. This clinicial section presents three patient populations (pediatric, athletic, and elderly); three pain-related types (headache, neck and shoulder pain, and low back pain); and six conditions that massage therapists may encounter: pregnancy and labor, scar treatment, cancer, fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression, and clients who have experienced sexual trauma. Recommendations and evidence-based treatment guidelines are clearly defined for each condition. Case reports developed from real-life cases are included in this section, offering readers a real-world context for the clinical content presented. The final section illustrates specific ways to integrate research into the educational and professional development of current and future massage therapists. It provides readers with the fundamental tools for a research-based approach in clinical practice, especially as it relates to special populations. A running glossary, chapter summaries, and critical thinking questions assist students in learning the content and act as self-study tools for practitioners. Massage Therapy: Integrating Research and Practice offers both students and practitioners of massage therapy the most current evidence-based information, guidelines, and recommendations for the treatment of conditions often seen in massage therapy practice. This essential reference will assist practitioners in understanding the scientific literature and its application in enhancing the practice of this safe and effective health intervention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Massage as a Mode of Treatment Sous months ago at the Westminster Hospital I delivered a lecture, which was subsequently pub lished in the Lancet, on the treatment or infantile paralysis, in the course of which'i referred at some length to the value of Massage as a therapeutic agent. The subject attracted a good deal of atten tion, and I received a number of letters from medical men in various parts of the country asking for further information, many of my correspondents urging me to publish full details of the methods employed. I have much pleasure in acceding to their request, and [do so the more willingly becausei have recently returned from Germany, where thanks to the kind ness and courtesy of my friend Professor Von Mosengeil, I have had the opportunity of witnessing.

It would appear also to act as a direct stimulant to the intestine, for within a few minutes of the commencement of the manipulation, peristaltic movements are excited which may in time reach such a grade as to cause much colicky pain. It is possible that such effect may be brought about by the immediate stimulation of Auerbach's plexus, under the control of which the peristaltic rhythm is supposed to lie.

Their precise influence upon the bowel has yet to be established, but so far as movement is concerned they appear to contain both excitor and inhibitory fibres.
