Description
From Chinese massage to Shiatsu to Indian head massage, this lavishly illustrated "bible" presents all the techniques needed to master the basics. Every spread features large and easy-to-follow photos, while the text guides beginners on what pressure to exert, what part of the hand makes contact with the body, and exactly what to do--whether they're feathering the back, working on the neck and scalp, or performing a sequence on the arms and hands. In addition to holistic and sports massages, there are suggestions for special situations (including massaging a baby); advice on massages to relieve common ailments; and lifestyle tips.

All you want to know about massages as an amateur.
All you want to know about massages and probably all you need to know about massages as an amateur who wants to be able to provide massages to his / her partner. I'm a qualified holistic and sports massage therapist myself and this book shows you a lot. That said; it's all about the feedback you get from the person you practise on and how good you are with your hands; how good you're touch is, how well you adapt to others, ... Give it a try if you want to try out massaging yourself.

Excellent quality
I've just completed my ITEC in Massage Therapy, and as I am starting out with my own business I'm looking for alternative techniques and routines to use in my therapy sessions. This book goes over things I have learnt already in more depth, i.e. History and Anatomy, and also introduces a variety of techniques and ways to incorporate them into a routine, which I'll be using in the future. As a masseuse it also helps with personal requirements like taking time out for yourself and meditation, as well as other forms of massage such as shiatsu, chinese massage, Indian Head and Baby massage. Also introduces us to specific digestive issues, etc. which can be improved with massage.

Easy to follow and nicely organized
I love that I can pick the different types of massage based off of what muscles I want to work on. My husband does physical labor for work and it’s nice for him to be able to tell me what hurts, and I just look up techniques that work on that specific area. The instructions are also easy to read and follow for someone inexperienced.
