Summary: glossy well photographed but low on usability
Comment: most of the effort here has gone into the design and photography, almost every massage tip is hard if not impossible to understand correctly.
there are complex instructions which mean nothing, no diagram to explain what is meant, just a photo which doesnt tie in, you have to guess what is meant in nearly every example.
this is not a good way to pick up massage techneques, picked up a few tips but overall disatisfied.

Summary: Hands on Care for Health
Comment: Massage is an ancient form of healing. For thousands of years, massage has been practiced to relieve back pain, restore good moods, provide comfort, boost energy and to rejuvenate muscles.

Having an easy-to-follow instruction book open while you are first learning to give a massage can be very helpful. This book is filled with pictures and directions for giving a full-body massage or just a face massage.

Everyone should get and give a massage at least once a month. Once a week would be ideal. Massage helps to enhance awareness of the body. You will notice your breathing and posture. It will help to relieve muscle tension and breaks down waste products held in the muscles.

When you give a massage, it also helps you relax. It is well worth giving a massage for that aspect alone. So where do you start? This book gives advice on what you will need before starting a massage and then the entire process is explained in detail.

This is a fun book to add to a small gift set with massage oils. A Kama Sutra Massage Therapy Kit would be perfect with this book. If you look for "Kama Sutra" massage oils two types will appear here at Amazon. You want to look for the "massage" not "love" oils. The five main oils are called: Healing Blend (Herb/Spicy scents: Pine, Juniper, Rosemary, Lavender, Marjoram, Clove, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Clary Sage and Black Pepper), Serenity (Warm scents: Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Sweet Orange, Lavender), Soaring Spirit (Sweet scents: Peppermint, Orange, Rose, Fennel), Sweet Almond (Delicious almond scent) and Pleasure Garden (Beautiful floral scent containing: Jasmine, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Neroli). These oils are the best I have ever found and many professional massage therapists use them in their practice.

To indulge your senses and learn more about essential oils, look for the book called: "Secrets of Aromatherapy" by Jennie Harding. To research Herbs for health, look for: "The Herbal Drugstore" by Linda B. White.

Massage and Natural remedies will add a new dimension of health to your life. This step-by-step guide will give you expert advice at a very affordable price. Once you learn to give a massage, I hope the person receiving the massage will return the favor:).

Summary: quick and sloppy massage tips
Comment: I bought this book because it was less expensive than others on the market. Now I wish I had spent more money. While it does have some valuble information in it, it provides little in the way of comprehensive and holistic methodology; it's just very basic and step-by-step. While obviously geared toward the (future) professional, the stripped-down verbage and lack of imagination make it a mediocre sourcebook for anyone considering massage as a career. If you have NEVER ever thought about massage and are totally new to the concept, this would be helpful; otherwise, look for something bigger.
