5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading and reference guide for every massage therapist, 9 Dec 2008
By Ms. Rachel Blain "Rachel Blain" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sandy Fritz draws you in from the first page. Her personal, informal approach makes her book accessible and easy to read. Yet the level of detail is outstanding. According to Fritz, 500 hours of contact time is the absolute minimum any massage graduate should have under their belt. Sandy has 30,000 and it shows. She has a passion for the subject and extolls the virtues and benefits of massage throughout her book. As well as detailed explanations, photos, diagrams, charts and a DVD of massage techniques, she covers a huge range issues including:

the history of massage
the chakras
how to greet a client
reflexology
trigger point therapy
body mechanics
pregnancy massage
baby massage
nutrition
legalities
good business practice
dealing with conflict and sexual arousal in a treatment setting
effective communication
and many more...

This is the massage bible for students and experienced therapists alike. Sandy Fritz will see you through your studies and be a constant source of inspiration and knowledge throughout your journey as a massage therapist.
