Description:
This new review system is designed to help students prepare for and pass school-administered exams, state and local licensing exams, and the National Certification Exam administered by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Nearly 800 multiple-choice questions plus answer keys and rationales, as well as 40 labeling exercises and unique case-study/critical thinking questions, make up this comprehensive review. Mosby's Massage Therapy Review covers topics from four essential categories: Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Kinesiology; Clinical Pathology and Indications and Contraindications for Massage Application; Massage Therapy and Bodywork; and Professional Standards, Ethics, and Business Practices. A FREE CD-ROM offers even more practice and familiarizes the user with taking the exam in an electronic format.
