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.

Should be called "Introduction to Massage"

As a massage therapist I thought this book might give me some tips or introduce me to massage techniques I hadn't learned. I was wrong. This is more of an infomercial style going over the major massage modalities explaining the benefits and contraindications of each. It is very basic and would make a good intro to anyone who is not familiar with massage but for any experienced therapist this book is of little value. #IntroToMassage #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

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!

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.

Nice simple massaging tips

I have been wanting to learn about massage for a long time and really enjoyed learning about all the different trigger and acupressure points within your body to aid relaxation and as a method of pain management. I personally get a lot of tension headaches and so I was particularly interested to learn the trigger points on my head and neck that I can massage to relieve that tension.
It’s also very helpful that it refers you to a number of youtube videos so that you can have a visual of the techniques and pressure points described so that you are not in danger of hurting yourself. This is an informative and enjoyable audio book.

Exciting piece of information on masage techniques

Any additional comments?

This book describes different massage techniques from around the globe. A massage is a great way to relax your body, improve circulation, relieve from stress or heal injures. Swedish massage is one of my favourites and I enjoyed learning more about this type of massage. I have been using it for relaxation purposes but now I learnt about the other benefits such as the help it offers against insomnia, depression or anxiety.
I didn’t know that the origin of sports massage was Greece and I always thought it was more suitable for athletes but this book encouraged me to try it as well. It can also help factory workers who often have to use the same muscles when repeating the same motion. In general, it can be very helpful to anyone who uses a great deal of their muscles.
Pregnant women can benefit from Roman therapy massage but the choice of a therapist is very important and only specifically trained for pregnancy massage therapists are recommended.
It is finally interesting that other types of massage are also covered in this book such as erotic and tantric massage (tastefully).
