Publisher's summary

Are you tired of tense, aching muscles and constant pain?

Whether you want to (1) learn about the major forms of massage therapy, (2) decide which massage type will best suit your needs, or (3) get help finding the right therapist, this audio book will teach you everything you need to know.

Discover the techniques employed by each major form of massage therapy.

I provide information on each therapy’s origin as well as the primary techniques used in treatment. I describe what the patient will experience during an appointment and the training required of a therapeutic practitioner.

Massage can relieve pain and stress from a variety of conditions.

The hands of a trained massage therapist can accomplish wonders! While I am quick to point out that massage therapy is not a cure-all, if people knew how much massage could help them, we’d all be a lot happier! Everyone knows massage is designed to relax tight muscles, but beyond that, massage has been documented to relieve the symptoms of arthritis, fibromyalgia, sinus infections, migraines, depression, skin ailments, and carpal tunnel syndrome, to name a few!

Massage can deepen relationships.

While most massage therapies are experienced one-on-one with a therapist, two types of massage are designed for couples. These legitimate therapies are prescribed at times by professionals who serve patients with relational or sexual dysfunctions. We're not talking about seedy massage parlors here; both tantric and erotic massage can take place in the office of a certified professional who is trained in their practices.

A comprehensive massage guide

This audiobook is an incredibly thorough introduction and overview of some of the various forms of massage from around the world. Not only does it describe each type of massage in a clear and concise manner, it explains each style's origin, its purpose, as well as addresses who should avoid getting certain massages. Before listening, I had little to no knowledge about the differences between different styles of massage, other than price. Now I know when and why I should get a Swiss massage as opposed to shiatsu, and I know the benefits of deep tissue massage in contrast to sports massage. What's more, I can recommend certain massages to others, or even surprise my wife with the perfect gift!

Overall, I feel this was a very well done book, from narration to content covered. I would recommend it to anyone looking for more information about massage in general.

Valuable Massage Information!

This is a great audio. Not only does it give a lot of great tips for how to massage specific parts of the body using a variety of different massage specialties, but it also goes into depth on over 15 different types of massage styles so that you can decide which one would be best for you. I personally love the Shiatsu massage, but am definitely going to check out Myofascial release after listening to the chapter on that and all the benefits. Great for anyone who wants to know about all the massage styles out there and what their benefits are. Highly recommended!

Any additional comments?

Great book to pick up if your looking for new massage techniques

Excellent information and very helpful to apply

I really enjoyed listening to it and very useful technique to learn how to do these different types of massages .

learned a lot

This book has a lot of interesting techniques for people who want to give massages to their loved ones, are thinking about having certain massages done to them, or want to learn to become massage therapists. It contains techniques from all around the world and there are warnings given as appropriate for various types of massages.

For potential massage therapists, for example, the author talks about Swedish massage in terms of what equipment is used, how the client is prepared for the massage, what is done to the client, who should not have it done on them (e.g. those who are pregnant), and what you should do if you have specific areas you want massaged.

Massage is great for learning what's best for you

Great for anyone who is considering massage therapy as a patient or practitioner. With 100 different types of massages, I can say I only knew of one but will be happy to research and try a few others. It’s important to note that there were certain massages that should be avoided if you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, have never received a massage, etc. The book does a pretty good job of going through pros and cons and what to expect as a result from each massage. Massages are not only great for your physical health but for psychological health as well.
