Features: Inversion massage therapy is a combination of inversion traction and massage techniques, involving the application of massage in an inverted position with the feet higher than the head. The book consists of 9 chapters, including 3 chapters on basic theory, 2 chapters on clinical research, and additional chapters on the nursing of inversion massage therapy and the devices for inversion traction. The clinical chapters cover common preventions and treatments across various disciplines, addressing over 30 conditions, with a strong emphasis on the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of each condition, inversion manipulation techniques, syndrome differentiation, as well as prevention and care. The final chapter introduces methods for "treating before illness" and "treating after illness" through inversion exercises. The book contains over 200,000 words and more than 80 illustrations, providing a rich and detailed presentation. It aims to be concise, practical, and as close as possible to clinical practice. The viewpoints and methods mentioned in the book are hoped to serve as a springboard for further discussion, encouraging a diversity of opinions and ultimately promoting greater development in the field of massage therapy.
