Download or read book Traumatic Scar Tissue Management written by Nancy Keeney Smith and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of scar tissue is a huge and growing problem for massage and other manual therapists. Research has showed that appropriate massage treatment can have significant results both physically and psychologically. Existing books have chapters on the problem but there is no practical manual available on the subject at the present time which tells the therapist what to do (and what not to do). This book fills that gap, explaining the physiologic and pathophysiologic background, and providing practical guidance about how to help patients.
