Customer Reviews: Great BookMarch 20, 2007 K. Fuddy(Montrose, Pa) 3 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is great for a quick reference guide to check on medications that may be affected by massage therapy. It is thorough and I have been surprised to find so many medications that I never heard of listed in the book. This is a very helpful tool!
