Review for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork Exams (LWW Massage Therapy and Bodywork Educational Series) 3rd Edition

This is the best MBLEx book out there. It goes into great detail and will help you pass the test!

All I studied was this book and my favorite muscle book and I passed first time. My testament to this book is that my massage qualifications are from another country, so I had not studied a USA massage curriculum before or taken an exam here. To take an exam in another country is daunting enough and this book (with dedicated study) got me through.What I liked about this book is that it focuses on what you really need to know in fairly short sections. Easy to organize and easy to read. For me this book was a 'reminder' of what I already knew, but needed to really freshen up on without having to do any searching and searching through old books! The book has a code that you can access (for two years) an online book, games, flash cards, etc. These made the studying fun and it felt so effortless, I really enjoyed it!Yes the results of the tests after each section are online and not in the book, but you can just print them out and leave them in the book, no big deal.I felt I needed another muscle book to accompany it, because I like & need visuals and more in-depth info for origins and insertions which this book didn't have. The Chinese med section is short, although it does have a good chart of the meridians and the element table. All I can say is memorize, memorize, memorize them!!!Thoroughly enjoyed studying with this book!Btw; If you buy a used edition you will not be able to use the code for the online info :(

I would just like to say sr book sellers are a wonderful supplier. They value their customers and stand on their word. I ordered a massage book from them last month and had a problem with the first order coming to my home on time. I thought sr books themselves had something to do with it so I contacted them as well as wrote my complaint on amazon.com. Upon recording this information sr books assured me that it was not their fault and promised to send another book. Which they did. It came on time and they communicated through emails to conform customer satisfaction. I just want to say thanks.

MT Exam Study Guide - first half of book is quite okay; but, keep your anatomy & muscle/bone books as well as class notes. 2nd half of book has a lot of pathologies/diseases & relates to indications or contra indications (to massage or not or skip area in question). This was okay but there are a lot of repeats when all could have been condensed into less pages or better organized. I took the MBLEX exam and passed BUT test was difficult. Study and practice situational questions. I am keeping the book to use as a quick reference.

I liked this book because it gave an excellent review and summarized all of the information I previously learned very well. The only con I had was the pictures of the muscle groups didn't provide as detailed of a view that I would've liked. Otherwise, it is a great review book and definitely refreshed my memory well. This book helped me a lot. Thank you!

I studied this book and loved the online study guide, I think that helped the most. I had not been to school in 6 years but I was grandfathered in so I wanted to take my test. I had forgotten most of this and I studied for 3 weeks using this study guide and I passed with flying colors. I suggest it to everyone. I took the NCBTMB.

It's q great book but needs serious updates on kinesiology. I took mblex today and none of these study guides prepared me for kinesiology questions. I've been out of school for years so I'm having to do a refresher. If you are in my situation, get a tutor for kinesiology and even client assessment with pathology situations. This book is good for everything else though but don't buy it brand new. Get a used one for less. I paid 16.

This was an awesome study tool for taking the MBLEX licensing exam! When purchased new you have access to free online student resources. There are games available to test your knowledge of each subject covered in the book. So I studied by playing games, so much more fun! I would recommend this book to everyone.
