This new, third edition of Massage for Therapists is a timely and thorough update which continues the tradition of Margaret Hollis' hands-on approach. The book is designed to be a step-by-step guide to the theory and practical application of classical massage. Once mastered, these techniques may form the basis for a variety of modifications suitable for specific conditions. 
Massage is a basic skill within physiotherapy, and one which requires a high standard of practical application. It is a skill which is increasingly being taken up by other health care and complementary therapy professionals. Massage for Therapists is split into three sections: an introduction to massage and preparation for giving a massage; the massage manipulations by area of the body; and some key modifications to the standard manipulations. In order to further enhance the practitioner's skill and to give the reader a grounding in some of the many popular specialities, updated chapters on aromatherapy and massage in sport sit alongside new chapters which introduce myofascial release and shiatsu. Massage for Therapists will be of interest to student and qualified physiotherapists and sports therapists, as well as occupational therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, nurses, complementary therapists and beauty therapists.

In bright splashes and splotches of imaginative, exuberant watercolors and a few well-chosen words, a cat and a dog discover how to overlook the irritations that sometimes arise between the best of friends. Sunshine, a tiny bright orange cat, and a Storm, a floppy dark gray dog, have a friendship not usually enjoyed between cats and dogs. But one day Storm inadvertently angers Sunshine, and suddenly they are no longer friends. The weather cooperates in healing their rift and Sunshine and Storm realizes that like sunny days and dark ones, their moods might change but they are friends forever. Juanty Storm and the elegant Sunshine, loveable and funny, celebrate the ups and downs of friendship with simplicity and directness that young children will recognize and take to their hearts.
