Summary: Miniature book with no real information
Review: Beware! This book has only 4 chapters and is less than 4 inches high. There are no pictures (other than a couple comics) and instructions for the very few techniques described are very poor. The entire book can be summarized in a single sentence: massage is good; relax and you'll like it. I can't comment on the full-size, full-length version of this book, but the miniature version is useless.

Summary: Highly Recommended For CMT's and LMT's As Well
Review: I spent about $10K on an excellent massage school and find myself referencing and learning new things from this book. My schools textbooks and style of teaching was very medical & stiff. I found myself talking to my clients in this manner.

Reading about massage in a language for everyone helps me to communicate better with my clients. A client that understands & feels comfortable with the conversation always comes back.
