Mihina (massage school director, Providence Institute, Arizona) and Anderson present this illustrated text for massage therapists and those in similar work which introduces procedures for incorporating hydrotherapy, exfoliations, pelotherapy (the therapeutic use of mud, clays, peat, and salts), thalassotherapy (the use of seawater) and aromatherapy into practice. Each section addresses the benefits of the procedure at hand as well as hygiene standards and allergy concerns. Study questions conclude each of the eight chapters, and the appendices contain recipes for substances discussed in the text. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
