3.0 out of 5 stars A Satisfactory Material, 3 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Book of Massage: The Complete Step-by-step Guide to Eastern and Western Techniques (Paperback)

This book provides substantial information on massage which tend to be a bit overwhelming, especially on the Eastern techniques. Beginners may need something more basic than this, but those who are way ahead in the art of massage will benefit more in this book. More illustrations than photographs are contained here, which give the reader an idea of how the techniques go. In most cases, however, photographs could've been more helpful in conveying its contents. All in all a satisfactory material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good intro to massage, 28 Feb 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Book of Massage: The Complete Step-by-step Guide to Eastern and Western Techniques (Paperback)

I borrowed this from a friend a while back, mostly on a whim. It's a very good introduction to massage, with illustrations that are helpful, and interesting sections such as child massage and self-massage. Like the title says, it covers different methods of massage, which is helpful, and then you get to pick and choose because some work better than others. There's nudity in the photographs, but it's nothing very risque. After reading the book I applied the techniques to my friends when they were stressed out, and they kept coming back for more, which is the best praise you can get. :-)

2.0 out of 5 stars Bizarre "eastern" massage mixed with some useful stuff, 18 April 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Book of Massage: The Complete Step-by-step Guide to Eastern and Western Techniques (Paperback)

A little good massage and many, many pages of "filler" taken from hard-to-understand so called "eastern" massage. Potentially pressure points instead of relaxing strokes. Very little real sensuality here. Not worth the effort it will take to separate the useful massage technique from the author's need to impress you with her vast knowledge of obscure practices.
