About the book: year / This manual, summarizing the experience in training massage therapists from among people who have lost their sight, which the professional school of massage therapists of Kislovodsk has accumulated over 15 years, is a guide on teaching methods and techniques of therapeutic massage to the blind and visually impaired. The material presented in this manual may be of interest not only to students and teachers, but also to massage therapists engaged in medical practice, since the work contains a number of provisions that are not sufficiently covered in the medical literature. The author of the manual is a doctor who lost his sight and received a new specialty within the walls of a vocational school in Kislovodsk. The school gave him the opportunity to once again take his place among the people in white coats and apply his strength and knowledge for the benefit of people.
