About This Book

Master the art of wheelchair massage

Wheelchairs open a world of mobility to those who use them. Yet the immobility of prolonged sitting can lead to health issues that can greatly impact a wheeler's quality of life. The hands-on care of therapeutic massage helps wheelers get the most out of their chairs by alleviating the many digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and strain issues that stem from wheelchair use and by supporting wheelers' emotional well-being.

Pioneering massage educator Christine Sutherland gathers her decades of experience working with wheelers to teach you the art of wheelchair massage in, out of, and even from the chair. Whether you're a professional massage therapist or a complete beginner, Christine's step-by-step approach will teach you everything you need to know to bring the healing power of touch to the wheelers in your life. Contains over 350 illustrations and linked instructional video libraries.
