Soft Tissue Injuries : Management and Prevention with Aromatherapy

Injury is an intrinsic part of most sports and the current focus is increasingly towards non-medical forms of treatment and management.

This book is a practical guide for professional therapists on the use of essential oils/aromatherapy in preparation and training for exercise and sporting activities, prevention and treatment of injuries and further use of the oils in rehabilitation.

The use of essential oils/aromatherapy for relaxation and psychological preparation before sports-related injuries is considered and also their use in physical preparation to warm up and stimulate, as well as their use for cool-down after completion of exercise.

Maureen Farrell is a well-known and respected teacher of aromatherapy and runs her own school.

She brings her training as a pharmacist to bear on the clinical application of oils.
