Book Reviews of Review for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork Certification (LWW Massage Therapy and Bodywork Educational Series)
Book Review: All the reviews are RIGHT, this book is FANTASTIC!
Summary: 5 Stars
NOTE:
This review was originally written for the previous version of this book:
(http://www.amazon.com/Therapeutic-Massage-Bodywork-Certification-Therapy/dp/0781734541/ref=cm_cr-mr-title).
I received this book with only 88 days to study after being away from massage school (690 hours worth) for over a year. Countdown to the test is still happening for me - I take it in April 2006.
I downloaded the "content outline" for the NCBTMB test from their website, and NO JOKE, this book is layed out EXACTLY like the recommended outline!
Other reviewers are correct, though, about the meridians and the bulk of TCM (trad.chinese medicine). My anatomy teacher recommended "The Web that Has No Weaver": (http://www.amazon.com/Web-That-Has-Weaver-Understanding/dp/0809228408/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235709295&sr=1-1) It's intense, but definitely covers the subject.
Another great book is "Acupressure's Potent Points":
(http://www.amazon.com/Acupressures-Potent-Points-Self-Care-Ailments/dp/0553349708/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235709043&sr=8-1)
But what is REALLY helping me is a book I have already reviewed ... "Staying Healthy With the Seasons (21st Century Edition)":
(http://www.amazon.com/Staying-Healthy-Seasons-Elson-Haas/dp/1587611422/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235709113&sr=1-1)
It gives you a chart (page 28) for the time of day each meridian/element activates, which organ it effects, whether it is "yin" or "yang", along with other TCM tidbits.
But, back to the book at hand - it is concise, to the point, and effective for studying. It is like I took all my notes from school, sifted through them to find only the most pertinent ones for this test, and stuck them into a compact format I can take with me EVERYWHERE and study whenever I find a spare moment. If you purchase no other study guide for the national test, MAKE IT THIS BOOK. I thoroughly expect to pass the FIRST time. Great job, Joseph Ashton!
1/2007 : I DID pass the test the first time ... this book was about 95% of the test! Get this book!!!!
