  Student physiotherapists respond well to books giving clear guidelines on techniques and their uses. Massage for Therapists is specifically tailored to students' needs, even assuming instructions which students, as part of their training, will be practising on one another. The latter half of the book gives detailed instructions on how different manipulations may be used for individual treatments, so should be useful to qualified physiotherapists as well. The book format has been so designed that it will stay open easily on a work surface beside the massage couch. It provides information for the Manipulative Skills part of the pre-registration course.
