Mosby’s Pathology for Massage Therapists Books
Product Description
Bombardment’s Pathology presents more than just a parade of diseases. It takes the reader through health assessment and client consultation, covers sanitation and hygiene, refreshes on physiology pertinent to the pathology and pathophysiology covered in the text, and discussion about general contraindications and endangerment sites before tender into the pathologies themselves. More than 300 pathologic conditions are covered in chapters divided by system. An entire chapter on Cancer and another on Mental and Emotional Illness are new additions to this edition. Each pathology presents the following in rank: Description, Signs and Symptoms, Etiology, Treatment, and Precautions. Pathologies are also accompanied by full color illustrations and photos plus a traffic light icon indicating whether it is safe to proceed with massage (green), there are cautions (yellow), or the massage is contraindicated (red). Local contraindications are distinguished with an “L,” to indicate massage is unsafe only in certain areas and the therapist can proceed with the massage for the rest of the body. Helpful appendices and a glossary round out the book.

And sometimes more! Some photos are particularly nasty, but as a therapist touching the skin, you need to know what scabies and some STDs look like incase these people come into your office. We used this in class and it is a fantastic reference. Each disease gives a general description, contraindications, treatments, and a before/during/after description of the disease/infection/shape up. And a stoplight for treatment: Red = no, yellow = caution, green = go! Its fantastic, you should still need a pharmacology book though, this does not take the place of that or a Medical Dictionary.

I’m the Director of Education at Massage School in Houston. It was a tough choice between the Bombardment book and Ruth Werner’s book on pathology. I went with the Bombardment for the overall number of pathologies, the quantity of illustrations and tables, and the recommendations for specific massage strokes for the pathologies. My students all have fun with being ’shocked’ by the pictures which are in color and included in the description of the pathology. My private recommendation as a massage therapist is that I would have both books in my private library since the Werner book provides more in-depth in rank about pathologies she selected to include in her book.
