Product Description
Written by massage therapy expert Sandy Fritz, this unique review resource prepares users for massage therapy exams - both routine semester exams and tests administered by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). Completely updated content reflects changes in both the National Certification Exam (NCE) and typical massage therapy programs, while extensive review of Asian bodywork methods helps students prepare for the National Certification Exam for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. The book features more than 1,200 questions, with two 200-question practice tests with answer keys, as well as a companion CD-ROM that contains interactive review exercises and an electronic practice exam that follows the NCE examination format and gives users a realistic electronic testing experience.
- Practice tests include questions on the same four major subject areas and at the same percentage of coverage as found on both NCBTMB Certification Exams.
- A unique chapter contains case-study/critical thinking questions that are useful for exam preparation, as well as for professional massage therapy practice.
- The appendix includes two 200-question practice tests with answer keys that are patterned after both certification exams.
- Can be used as a study guide for the certification exam or for classroom exams such as mid-terms or finals.
The practice tests on the CD-ROM provide a realistic testing experience similar to the NCE exam.
- The CD-ROM contains a randomization feature so that questions never appear in the same order for practice tests, nor are they grouped by content area.
- Tests on the CD-ROM are automatically graded on completion, including a break-down of how the user scored in each of the 4 major subject areas.
- The Tutorial feature on the CD-ROM allows users to select one of the 4 major subject areas, and then test only in that category. Rationales are displayed when the user selects the correct answer.
- An expanded section devoted to helping readers learn how to study and take tests effectively includes study tips, test-taking tips, information on the NCBTMB's 2 tests, question analysis, and in-depth information on the four areas of preparation for the National Certification Exam and the National Certification Exam for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.
- A new section on review resources contains a muscle quick reference guide, a diseases and indications/contraindications to massage therapy chart, content on Asian bodywork methods, labeling exercises, and a comprehensive glossary.
- Each chapter of review questions begins with study strategies for the content covered in that chapter to help familiarize readers with the topic and how best to study it.
- New review questions and updated content reflect changes in the exams given by the NCBTMB and massage therapy curriculum.
- Along with all of the review questions from the chapters in the book and the appendix exams, the CD-ROM contains a complete, brand new practice test with 165 questions that mirrors the NCE exam.

 Mosby's Massage Therapy Review 2
This book & CD helped me PASS the NCE Exam ! I am very thankful for this investment, it gave me "the big picture" of what to expect on the National. I continued to do the practice tests, it helped me understand the areas I needed to focus on more. What a wonderful field to be in helping others feel relaxed & pain free !
I just love it ! God planted the desire in my heart to help others, this field is the result of God answering my prayer to better use my talents for HIM !
Thanks you very much ! KC

 Overkill
Don't bother getting this book. Between my vascular surgeon husband and my thirty years experiecnce as an RN we could not figure out half the answers. The depth is overkill and the answer key does nothing to help you understand the answers to the questions.
The only accomplishment of the book is to make you feel as though you will not pass the exam and you learned nothing in massage school.

too much
my school program was set up so that all the material we covered would help us pass the national exam. once i opened this review book i flipped out because i thought i wouldn't pass. there were questions in there that we never covered. after the first two chapters i threw the book in the corner and studied from the little purple pamphlet they gave us with the application for the exam. that had a total of about 20 questions and it helped me much more than this book did. i calmed down a bit and flipped out again two hours before the test (but that's normal). needless to say... i passed the test with almost a perfect score without the use of this book.

Overkill and Off-base
Thank heavens I had and used another review book for the national exam (Ashton), and it was so closely in line with the actual exam questions! After working through only the first 3 chapters in Mosby's, my head was killing me because the questions were so wordy and complicated that I wondered how I made it through school with good grades. When the first question in the neuro chapter (chap. 4) asked about quantum physics, I knew Sandy Fritz had no business writing a review for this national exam! The exam was NOTHING like her format! The rationales for most of the answers gave no clear indication of why the correct answer was correct. I totally recommend the Ashton review book, and passed the national exam no thanks to Ms. Fritz.
