From Chinese massage to Shiatsu to Indian head massage, this lavishly illustrated “bible” presents all the techniques needed to master the basics. Every spread features large and easy-to-follow photos, while the text guides beginners on what pressure to exert, what part of the hand makes contact with the body, and exactly what to do—whether they’re feathering the back, working on the neck and scalp, or performing a sequence on the arms and hands. In addition to holistic and sports massages, there are suggestions for special situations (including massaging a baby); advice on massages to relieve common ailments; and lifestyle tips.

Great Books!
I have ordered several books in this series and I love them. Easy to read. Straight to the point. Set up nice and clear and gives nice fast facts without all the blah, blah, blah.

Exactly what I was looking for
Pros:-Pictures!!-Easy to understand.-Knowledge of direction of movement, what parts of the body the massage giver should use (finger tips, palm of hand, knuckles, etc), pressure amounts, as well as start/finish session techniques.-Covers from lite touch to deep massage.-Lot of pages, you get your money's worth.Cons:-Small physical size of book, would be nicer if enlarged.-Occasionally could use more detail on how to correctly position hands / technique but good overall.Who is this for?-Probably not someone who already has a professional job doing massages but couldn't hurt to add another reference book.-For anyone getting started in massage.-For couples who want to help their significant others sore muscles/relax/release stress.

Great pictures, but simple explanations.
Provides a lot of great pictures and simple explanations. This made a great addition to another book on massages that I purchased earlier. The explanations are simple, so you might not learn a lot of new things. However, it touches on almost every topic.

Everything I need in a small package
Great intro to massage for beginners. Provides techniques, a sample massage sequence, great diagrams (anatomy), and a brief history. Some people complained about the size of the book, but I love the size! It fits in my (large) purse so I can take it to read on the go.

Not what I expected
Book was kind of technical. But I did get some important and valuable information from it. I will it when I massage my wife

Easy to follow and nicely organized
I love that I can pick the different types of massage based off of what muscles I want to work on. My husband does physical labor for work and it’s nice for him to be able to tell me what hurts, and I just look up techniques that work on that specific area. The instructions are also easy to read and follow for someone inexperienced.
