Bibliography p. 31-36.Circulation of the blood and lymph -- Skeletal muscle -- Fibrosis and contracture -- Control of pain -- Respiratory function -- Psychological effects.There are several areas in the health-care field that present both challenges and opportunities, specifically rehabilitation, musculoskeletal injuries, and especially chronic pain.

Those of us in the medical profession who have used the services of a registered massage therapist (RMT) have discovered ... the benefits that they receive from professional massage therapy.... However, these benefits of therapy have not been described in the standard biochemical and physiological models.... [The book] supplies this link in our communication. By reviewing, analyzing and summarizing the extensive scientific literature in this field, [the author] has provided the opportunity for the physician and the RMT to appreciate each other's work. -Foreword
