Reviews"A well written textbook that is clear and concise. The organization is exceptional; each chapter is color-coded for ease in locating or browsing through information, and colored shadings in the text emphasize important points. Students and patients interested in this topic will find exceptional value in reading this book. The quality and readability are excellent." --Physical Therapy "With his extensive training in lymphedema management, his successful lymphedema clinic in Florida, his two-week training curriculum at the Academy of Lymphatic Studies, and his world lymphedema training tour, Zuther has finally joined the ranks of Chikly and Vodder in producing a wonderfully comprehensive guide for those who love the lymphatic system as much as he does. ...Nicely illustrated, extensively reference and logically understandable for those who come to the table with a love and a previous study of this area. Zuther walks us through [the basics] with pictures, diagrams and carefully crafted text. The chapter covering lymphedema is brilliant...demonstrate[s] in glorious detail the step-by-step bandage-wrapping and hands-on techniques used to treat lymphedema. The pictures are helpful. Zuther generously shares sample charts, patient and model-release forms, and measuring charts to help practitioners and physicians in this field." --Massage Magazine "Much more than a cook-book or a manual on "how it must be done."
