Format:Paperback
Although this is a book on chair massage, it is excellent as an introduction to massage in general and is one of the best massage books I have read. {I have also bought several books on chair massage and it is by far the best on that subject).
I normally "cut to the chase" and skip all of the introductory chapters of verbiage to get to the "routines" or techniques. In this case I read the introductory chapters, got out my yellow highlighter and highlighted much/most of the text. The book presents in detail the anatomy involved with the aid of fantastic LWW artworks and describes clearly and logically the purpose of the techniques used. Hence, rather than mindlessly using a "routine", the reader gets a clear understanding of what massage is (or should be) all about and is then free to massage the subject as appropriate. This is in contrast to much that I have read, seen on the web or even in massage classes. A really great book

Good visual guide
9 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have recently become certified as a Massage Therapist, but did not receive any training in chair massage. I wanted a good visual guide so that I could apply what I already know and be able to offer chair massage as a service. This book is a good guide for me.
