Use this book to develop marketing and educational materials or as a gift to interested physicians. Describing the benefits of massage therapy in the standard biochemical and physiological models, is a critical step in developing communication and understanding between health professions. Dr. John Yates, in A Physician's Guide to Therapeutic Massage: Its Physiological Effects and their Application to Treatment, supplies this crucial link in our communication. By reviewing, analyzing, and summarizing the extensive scientific literature in this field, he has provided the opportunity for the physician and the RMT to appreciate each other's work and the healing mechanisms activated by both.

Dr. Yates also offers a further challenge to the massage therapist and the physician: to commit ourselves to work together for the mutual benefit of our patients. Importantly, he asks us to find mutual goals and develop clinical and scientific research protocols to establish models for treatment and prevention. Dr. Yates has given us the clinical instruments to begin our exploration.
