A Massage Therapist’s Guide To Pathology (Lww Massage Therapy and Bodywork Educational)

This best-selling guide presents detailed information on over 200 diseases and conditions, emphasizing how massage influences the disease and healing processes and how therapists can maximize the benefits while minimizing the risk.
Customer Review: Great Resource for National Certification exam
The pathology guide was concise and much needed in studying for the national certification exam for massage. By studying this book, I found out that there was some stuff I didn’t learn in massage school but needed for the national exam. Who would have known?

AS YOU probably know, contraindications are tested on this exam and most are in this book.

The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui: The Traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho Treatment Positions and Numerous Reiki Techniques for Health and Well-Being

Dr. Mikao Usui developed the Reiki System and founded the original Japanese Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai organization. This book shows you the original hand positions of Dr. Usui’s Reiki Handbook. It has been illustrated with 100 photos to make it easier to understand. The hand positions for a great variety of health complaints have been listed in detail, making it a valuable reference work for anyone who practices reiki. Now that the original handbook has been translated into English, Dr. Usui’s hand positions and healing techniques can be studied directly for the first time. Whether you are an initiate or a master, if you practice Reiki you can expand your knowledge dramatically as you follow in the footsteps of a great healer.
Customer Review: The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui: The Traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho Treatment Positions and Numerous Reiki Technique
An excellent bok for those Reiki channels wishing to learn more about Dr Usui’s original hand positions. Images and explanations of hand positions are really useful. Recommended for beginners through to experienced Reiki channels.
Customer Review: Fantastic Handbook
This is a long awaited result of Arjava’s historical research of Reiki. I will be forever grateful to Arjava for guiding us when we journeyed to Japan to research the original history of Dr. Usui. There is so much confusion in the Reiki community regarding the history of Reiki. Seeing Dr. Usui’s handbook in print through this book clears up much of the confusion. This handbook is proof that the belief that Reiki was taught strictly as an oral tradition was actually based on a “mythical” version of the history of Reiki. Thank you Arjava, for your dedication to Reiki. Click here for more info on this massage product

Living Arts Massage Practice for Pregnancy

An obliging father-to-be performs head-to-toe (actually, toe-to-head) massage on his appreciative partner in this too-good-to-be-true instructional video. Still, it’s worth a shot at guilting your partner into one of the three massages described in detail by massage therapist Michelle Kluck as the couple demonstrates each stroke. Much of the 25-minute video is dedicated to the feet and legs, as Kluck emphasizes the therapeutic benefit on the onslaught of symptoms a pregnant woman deals with in these body parts–leg cramps, edema, varicose veins, stretch marks, and such. Time is also spent on a back and shoulder massage and one for the head and neck. Kluck outlines the special conditions of a prenatal rubdown (no lying on the back or stomach, etc.) and on- screen graphics pop up to show reflexology points and a cutaway view of the pregnant body. Kluck asserts that massage can prevent many prenatal ailments without backing up her claim, but you don’t have to tell your partner that part. –Kimberly Heinrichs
Customer Review: Fabulous Pregnancy Massage!
I loved this video. My husband found it very easy to follow and he gave me a wonderful massage on my legs & feet, back & shoulders and my head & neck. The music was very relaxing and the techniques were clear and easy to understand. I felt great and he was so happy to bring me some relief during my last few months of pregnancy. I highly recommend this video to all pregnant couples! Click here for more info on this massage product

The Art of Sensual Massage DVD

Featured at the Cannes Film Festival and winner of 6 awards at international film and video festivals, this DVD brings the techniques displayed in “The Art of Sensual Massage” to life on your screen.
Customer Review: Useful DVD
The Art of Sensual Massage DVD is divided into sections that correspond with different parts of the body. The Chest and Abdomen contain massage strokes for that area, with every step show very clearly. You can see the motion that you need to use and the exact pressure. This is very important if you want to learn to give your own sensual massage to your friends and lovers.

I found this to be a complete and humanistic treatment of an often abused subject. In fact, massage is quite worthwhile and should be part of every home environment, along with fine cooking and music. I recommend this DVD for those who want to learn how to do sensual massage.
Customer Review: Massage made easy
The video is beautifully made, sensual and artistic throughout and in good taste. The instructional technique is very well thought out and you can learn at your own pace. Every part of the body is presented with great attention to details you will actually need to do a sensual massage. Common errors are discussed, so you don’t have to worry about getting it wrong. The net result is a massage techique that feels incredibly good.

Customer Review: good and bad points
This video is pleasant to watch.The voice-over sometimes veers off into the “new age mode” in a distracting manner.The couple is attractive but much of the film is her massaging his gorgeous legs,glutes and back.I think many women will enjoy this video, which is sensuous but tasteful.It does not attempt to provide any instruction but the viewer should be able to follow along.I watched it a dozen times and gave it away as there are better tapes on the market.
Customer Review: hmmmm
video is ok. but like another person wrote, its only really good for background playing rather than for learning.if u want to learn something mr haase’s video is better suited.[titled massage with confidence] Click here for more info on this massage product
