I am undertaking training to become a massage therapist and found this book on Amazon totally by accident looking for something else - I'm glad I found it. This book is a great tool if you need to understand the basics straight away, as I found it was clearly written and it doesn't confuse by blinding you with anatomical jargon. The crossword puzzles at the back of the book make studying and revising far more fun and the information you need sticks in your mind this way. As a basic book, this one is one of the best.
