Summary: Surpassed expectation
Comment: The book was like new. It arrived in a timely manner. The price was excellent, about half as much as a new book. I will not hesitate to order again. Thank you for such excellent service.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Needed for Massage Students and for the boards
Comment: Just buy the book. It may tend to make you want to fall asleep in it for the first chapter but it has great information they most likely dont teach you in school that will be on your boards.

Summary: absolutely the best introduction to massage available
Comment: There is no question that this book is the best introduction to massage. It is written both with heart and with the correct information you need as a beginging student. You can feel the passion of the writers for the subject, and no wonder, Tappan is one of the most famous massage therapists America ever had. The authors write so sympathetically that you are pulled further into the book.This is an amazing accomplishment in a college level textbook. I am in love with this book! It integrates Eastern and Western styles beautifully. A beautiful labor of love. This book is also on the recommended study list by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Body Work. Not many books made that cut. To get started all you need in addition to this book is a great anatomy and physiology book like my favorite by Tortora and Grabowski.

Summary: Excellent Reference book and CD-ROM
Comment: This is a thoroughly user friendly book for the student of massage, and the best general reference book on massage that I've found. The book attempts to cover it all and does a fairly good job. Particularly good is its section on Western Massage Techniques, especially those demonstrated in the video. The chapter and section in the video on trigger points and their release are particularly helpful for athletes.
Customer Rating:
