Book Overview
From quick massages that aid relaxation to healing massages that target everyday ailments, this all-embracing guide has it all. With 75 treatments for general well-being and beyond, "The Complete Massage Course "really lives up to its name--and helps anyone find and learn the right massage for his or her needs. Fifteen of the most popular therapies--including Swedish, Shiatsu, Thai, Reflexology, Indian Head, Tui Na, Acupressure, and Ayurvedic--appear in step-by-step color photographs, along with detailed instructions and full introductions that explain their philosophy and purpose, benefits, possible contraindications, and related applications. Massages for pregnancy, babies, partners, sports injuries...they're all here. Icons at the start of each one indicate how long it will take, what to wear, what (if any) oils to use, and what conditions it relieves. In addition, dozens of others types receive more concise coverage, and a fully cross-referenced Symptoms Index provides fuss-free, easy guidance.

Don't need to be an expert
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Many books on this subject are either fluffy or too technical. This book is an exception. It is written in a friendly and accessible style. You don't need to be an expert or aim to be one, to use this book. It is well produced; the colour photos are functional and crisp. Our modern tempo of life abuses our muscles and mind and they need tending. The chapter on Self-Massage can be used daily while on a train, bus, office or at home while watching television. You can get a friend or partner to join in and use the instructions in the book. It may help you to become an expert in time. I have seen Nicola work and she brings her love and care for the health and healing of people. Just the chapter of Self- Massage will recover the cost of the book. Time to get healthy and relax by using this handy book. Recommend it.
