Product Description

This book is a unique, user friendly book whose primary purpose is to define and describe the scope and universe of practice of this rapidly expanding profession. The first phase of this resource explains a new and important discussion entitled ."The Three Paradigms." and presents a continuum of possible practice beginning at the most basic levels of touch to the most comprehensive and advanced levels of holistic care in this field. These chapters also include numerous interesting and relevant case histories that showcase, demonstrate and differentiate practice by First, Second and Third Paradigm practitioners. Also discussed in this book is another new concept that introduces and explores the idea of Three Levels of Competence of massage therapists regardless of paradigm and what particular approach of massage therapy and bodywork techniques are used in their professional practices. Following a brief history of the evolution of massage therapy and bodywork, a new and unique model of the scope of the profession, The Continuum of the Four Massage Therapy and Bodywork Levels, is presented. It provides an analysis of the existing spectrum of massage therapy and bodywork modalities and discusses and demonstrates how the main intention of each of the twenty-six modalities presented primarily affects one of the four layers of the energy/matter continuum of the living mind/body complex.
