Possibly the most famous and widely used resource in therapeutic bodywork (required for national massage therapy certification), this beautifully written, detailed, and reader-friendly picture of how and why the body responds to touch is both scientifically reliable and inspiring. Furthering the presentation of recent research in biochemistry, cell biology, and energy medicine in the Second Edition, this new update includes advances in neurophysiology and physics, reconfiguring knowledge of mind and body, from “microgenesis” to “quantum consciousness.” A rare book that fits general reader as much as professional and student.

Customer Review: Great Resource
I have a friend who is pregnant and needs massage therapy. I’m still in school for my licence but am practicing at home as I go through school. I bought this video tape to learn how to massage while keeping her comfortable and not hitting those pressure points I’ve heard about that can cause contractions. I learned a lot of really good techniques and there is a lot of good streching involved in this tape. I didn’t use everything I learned in the video, but the table set up, posturing and foot and leg massages were what really did the trick. I’ll warn you – the tape is DRY! Nothing exciting about the way these two people present. That is why it doesn’t get 5 stars.

Overall – my friend/client was comfortable the entire time, felt fully relaxed and stretched when the massage was complete. I would reccommend this video. The proof is in the work and a happy client and I had a great expereince with that! Click here for more info on this massage product
