Synopsis

A good massage is one of life's greatest pleasures: it relaxes muscles, relieves stress, tones the body, and boosts overall health and well-being. But to be truly effective, it has to be done correctly, and that is where Massage for Beginners comes in.

Massage for Beginners is the complete low-down on giving the perfect rubdown. Featuring an exceptionally easy-to-follow layout, it is specially constructed to stand open at eye-level alongside the bed or massage table so that novice masseurs will have their hands free and be able to devote their full concentration to the job at hand. In addition, to enable users to proceed with minimal disturbance throughout the massage, the book is organized so that each body part is covered in a single page. The masseur's hand only has to break contact just long enough to flip the page over before beginning the next sequence.

Covering a wide range of techniques, from Swedish to Shiatsu, Massage for Beginners guides readers through full-body massage for a partner, massage for muscle cramps, baby massage, and self-massage, and includes a review of the body's underlying structures and information on oils and aromatherapy.
