Massage Therapy Textbook

Where can I find textbooks Massage Therapy? (please read details)?

Are in high school right now, and I met some 'which I want to be a masseuse. I want to start studying at least the part anatomy of massage therapy, so I'll have a good understanding of it by the time I'm in actually a course. I have a love for biology anyway, so regardless, I would find interesting. Does anyone know where I can find one, if not a book very similar, which could pave me?

Anatomy and Physiology any work, but a favorite is Trail Guide Body, which comes in a wonderful book and workbook combo, also flash cards; found at most bookstores. If money is a problem check your local library. Ask your science teacher if he / she has a old copy that is no longer used, you might have. Focus on learning the attachment (insertion and origin), the sites of the muscles. Knowing the names of the bones will be of great help too. Learn the names of attached bone. Learn much more, but this will get you started. Have fun on your journey and practice practice, practice.
