Susan, How do I find the ppt?
At 10:24am on August 16, 2009, Mary Lou Ross said…
Susan, I am a LMT in GA and new here. Just saw you did a ppt for an oncology group of RNs. I would be interested in seeing this if possible as I am in the process of educating my local community in this manner. I appreciate any and all assistance that can be given in this area.
Sincerely, Mary Lou Ross

Yes, under contact dermatitis. There a picture of the plant (several plant types) and the infection.

Does you Mosby's pathology book address poison ivy, etc in section # 4 or anywhere else in the book. thanks

I appreciate your support for these goals. FYI - I have already made these suggestions individually on Chip Hines MBOK Independence Blog and one directly to the MBOK comments after Chip asked me to send them directly. Regardless, what I sent you is a more polished summary of my prior suggestions, so I shall send it directly to Chip.

I shall take your advice and ask Elsevier for a review copy.

I know that working with a publisher is challenging. I have several friends who have alternated between self-publishing and working with established "houses." I appreciate your giving me the opportunity to find out if Elsevier decides that using me as a reviewer might increase sales of your book.

Re MBOK - I'm very curious and eagerly await their output for I hope and have suggested that they provide the field with:
1. A sufficiently broad and legally defensible scope of practice that includes all modalities that the general public perceives as massage.
2. The beginnings of a scientifically referenced BOK describing the physiological effects of basic massage techniques on each of the four medically recognized basic tissue types and the major organ systems.
3. Guidelines that will hold up against legal challenge for distinguishing between practice protocols that are based on "legally tested generally recognized best practice", "pilot study/evidence based practice" and practice based on reported empirical findings or personal experience/judgement.

Am reluctant to ask for a review copy of your Massage Therapy 3e. This is due to my current time constraints and having just last week resolved (in my favor) a complaint regarding my subscription to Elsevier's Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies that I had to take all the way up to Mr. Erik Engstrom, CEO in Burlington, MA.

That said, I would be delighted to assist you (from my perspective as a clinical shiatsu and Russian medical massage oriented instructor) as an official or unofficial reviewer of your upcoming 4e. Given the BOK project and what is being disseminated by the International Journal of Massage and others, I suspect much will soon require changing in A & P books.

I completely agree that the FSMTB group that met in Chicago to establish parameters and questions was GREAT!

Have not used Muscolino's book. The book (etc) most instructors use at the Shiatsu Massage School of California is Andrew Biel's Train Guide to the Body, 3e.

My current focus/teaching is business/entrepreneurship (have a Columbia University MBA earned in 1974), supervising a shiatsu intern clinic (during the past 9 years) and teaching practical kinesiology/kinesthesia (certified Z-Health exercise therapy specialist - http://www.zhealth.net/ ).

If/when I'm invited to next teach an A & P class, I shall buy/consider your Massage Therapy: Principle and Practice, 3e. Via Amazon, I looked at the table of contents (they display an earlier edition) and was glad to see Unit 3.

Yes, I have reviewed a textbook proposal presenting Asian massage modalities for Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins. FYI - I was one of the FSMTB original test question writers for the MBLEx exam.

In response to your question, re what I look for in textbooks; are they in wide use across all modalities throughout the USA and do they clearly provide or make it easy for me to explain/highlight massage practice strategies, techniques, targets, tactics, risk factors and contraindications.

FYI - currently, I only recommend the following to my students Andrew Biel's Trail Guide to the Body, Frank Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy, Ruth Werner's A Massage Therapist's Guide to Pathology, David Butler's Explain Pain and Cherie Sohnen-Moe's Business Mastery. I really like Kalyani Premkumar's The Massage Connection Anatomy & Physiology book, but could not convince students that they need that level of information.
