Review for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork Certification (Lww Massage Therapy & Bodywork Series)

…multiple choice review questions and review activities that summarize each content area…a full practice exam with 170 ncetmb-style questions that prepare readers for the actual exam
Customer Review: Disappointed…..
I purchased this book a few months ago, because of the reviews on Amazon. I used this study guide, made a few hundred flash cards and aced the review exams, but on the day I actually took the National Exam I failed. I was blown away by the difference between the type of questons asked on the exam vs. how I thought it was going to be from this review book. Yes, it was helpful to a degree, but I wouldn’t bother purchasing save your money and spend it somewhere else. It is misleading.

Customer Review: Should get this when you start classes….tons of info
Not only is this book great to review for the final…(I studied exclusively from this book alone and the online review that comes w/ book and passed with high scores 1st try)…but I wish I had purchased this when I first started my Massage courses because it breaks down all of the info you need into easy to read, easy to understand and pertinent information. A great book, you will not be disappointed. Click here for more info on this massage product

HoMedics AK-3 Foot Pro Ultra Foot Massager

Sit down. Take off your shoes. Use a big toe to turn on this electric foot massager. (There’s a toe-friendly on/off switch at the bottom.) Use that toe to select the intensity of the foot massage you desire (high or low). Cold feet? Direct the toe to the infrared switch for muscle-relaxing, penetrating heat. Now lean back and run your tired, aching feet over the massager’s vibrating surface while different-size bumps rejuvenate you according to the ancient practice of reflexology (or, if you don’t accept reflexology’s tenets, soothingly stimulate your feet). This durable plastic device measures 14 by 12 inches and is angled so your feet rest comfortably while you’re seated. The massager carries a two-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack
Customer Review: Great value, long life
I purchased this foot massager four years ago, when it was a slightly different looking machine. I placed it under my desk in my home office, and I’ve used it at least once weekly since then. I’m amazed it’s still working, but it truly is! I’ve spilled a couple mochas on it, several cats have slept on it (one inadvertently turned it on mid-nap and got a big surprise), and I certainly haven’t handled it with any sort of care. Yet, it continues to function beautifully, keeping my sore, arthritic, bunion-infested, little feet quite happy.
Customer Review: Don’t expect something great!!
I find the HoMedics Ak-3 Foot Massager is worth the sale price. Not a big bang for the buck. I agree with other reviewers that the motor is undersized. If you put much weight on it it slows way down. If you want something to really massage your feet go with a product that had rollers or kneaders. Which by the way cost alot more money. Click here for more info on this massage product

A Massage Therapist’s Guide To Pathology (Lww Massage Therapy and Bodywork Educational)

This best-selling guide presents detailed information on over 200 diseases and conditions, emphasizing how massage influences the disease and healing processes and how therapists can maximize the benefits while minimizing the risk.
Customer Review: Great Resource for National Certification exam
The pathology guide was concise and much needed in studying for the national certification exam for massage. By studying this book, I found out that there was some stuff I didn’t learn in massage school but needed for the national exam. Who would have known?

AS YOU probably know, contraindications are tested on this exam and most are in this book.
