About this product

Product Information

The most significant cause of early retirement from the massage profession is the cumulative strain on the body developed in the course of performing the work. The explosive growth of this occupation in recent years has been accompanied by an increase in the number of work-induced problems. Practitioners can easily strain their hands, particularly their thumbs, fingers, and wrists, as well as their shoulders and backs. Written by noted teacher and trainer Darien Pritchard, this useful book explains those aspects of massage that can lead to these problems and shows how to apply pressure in ways that avoid them. The focus is on how to use the body safely and effectively. The author explores the benefits of involving the whole body to generate the power and movement that support the hands, saving the hands by using them skillfully, and conserving them by using other body areas such as the forearms and elbow whenever possible. Featuring 2,000 illustrations, Dynamic Bodyuse for Effective, Strain-Free Massage is essential reading for anyone involved in massage, whether a student, a professional massage practitioner or teacher, sports massage therapist, or aromatherapist.

Best Book on Body Mechanics & Injury Prevention for MTs
Dynamic Bodyuse by Darien Pritchard There is nothing else remotely as good. Some other references have some useful information, but Mr. Pritchard has practiced and taught successfully for decades, and he brings an unrivaled wealth of knowledge and experience that is utterly unmatched by other authors on the topic. My only regret is that I didn't purchase this text the moment it became available. I keep my copy at our massage center and all of our MTs have been going through it when I'm not reading it myself. This is truly a masterwork by someone that understands the work and walks the talk. Whether a student, practitioner, or still considering whether to pursue massage as a career, this book has much to offer.

Great condition used. Very Pleased.
Excellent book for referencing proper body mechanics during massage application. Worth it’s weight in gold as principals can help avoid an MT injury.
