Title: Inaccurate and outdated
Product review: I taught a pathology course for massage students using this textbook. I thought the the red/yellow/green stopligh visual would make this book a nice reference book, although I knew up front that the descriptions of some of the conditions were not entirely accurate. In reality, I found that I had to spend a great deal of time correcting the textbook each time we covered a new chapter. This text doesn't even begin to cover current pathophysiology, which I think is important so that students can begin to think about what causes disease, rather than just memorize a list of conditions where massage isn't indicated. I found many of the references questionable. We expect massage therapists to have a good scientific knowledge of the human body, why shouldn't they have an equally scientific knowledge of pathology? I will not teach with this textbook again.
