fitness, strength and flexibility. In this handbook,
physiotherapist Joan Watt addresses the rules of massage
and its techniques. She covers sports massage -including
techniques, contact materials, methods of application,
duration, and contra-indications - and also covers ice
massage, aromatherapy and reflexology as additions to the
masseur's skills. The final chapter provides a ready
reference on anatomy and physiology.
