Medical Massage Care's Massage Exam Essentials outlines the minimum adequate knowledge needed to pass the therapeutic massage licensing and certification exams, including the FSMTB MBLEx and the NCBTMB NCETM and NCETMB. The amount of material that a massage therapist needs to know can be overwhelming. This publication summarizes the material that can easily be tested in the form of a multiple choice question, which is the material most likely to appear on an exam; and provides tips for the exam-taking strategy. Topics include anatomy, kinesiology, pathology, areas of caution, effects, techniques, assessment, treatment, history, ethics, guidelines, business, and energetic methods. The author passed both the MBLEx and the NCETM, and has sold thousands of study guides and practice exam books for the massage exams.
