Conair VSW1G Foot Vibes Vibrating Women’s Slippers (Color May Vary)

Conair Massaging Slippers VSWIG for Women – White: Heated massaging slippers with microwavable gel packs that keep feet toasty. On/off push-button on the side of each slipper activates massaging action. Extremely comfortable suede slippers are plush-lined. So whether you’re watching the ball game, reading a book, sitting at the PC, knitting a sweater, or just lounging around, these slippers add an extraordinary treat to whatever you do.
Customer Review: no good
I bought this item, but amazon sent me a wrong item. the one they sent me looked exactly the same, but it was without the heating pads as shown in the picture. even the replacement was the same.so i think amazon doesnt carry this version of the slipper at all. and they are ok, not a very good quality. mine had a button to press to have a vibrating action, which was by the way does not have much massaging effect. so overall, a poorly made proiduct in my opinion. the sole is also hard and not flexible enough for walking around when you are not using the massage.

Review for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork Certification (Lww Massage Therapy & Bodywork Series)

…multiple choice review questions and review activities that summarize each content area…a full practice exam with 170 ncetmb-style questions that prepare readers for the actual exam
Customer Review: Disappointed…..
I purchased this book a few months ago, because of the reviews on Amazon. I used this study guide, made a few hundred flash cards and aced the review exams, but on the day I actually took the National Exam I failed. I was blown away by the difference between the type of questons asked on the exam vs. how I thought it was going to be from this review book. Yes, it was helpful to a degree, but I wouldn’t bother purchasing save your money and spend it somewhere else. It is misleading.

Customer Review: Should get this when you start classes….tons of info
Not only is this book great to review for the final…(I studied exclusively from this book alone and the online review that comes w/ book and passed with high scores 1st try)…but I wish I had purchased this when I first started my Massage courses because it breaks down all of the info you need into easy to read, easy to understand and pertinent information. A great book, you will not be disappointed. 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.

Job’s Body : A Handbook for Bodywork (Third Edition)

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.

Bio-Foam Rollers – 6 Round, 3′ Long (Most popular)”

For Myofascial Release (Self Massage) and to Improve Balance and Alignment
Customer Review: Good Product, Service Slow
I ordered the bio-foam roller and received an email confirming the purchase and then an email informing me the product had been shipped. Two plus weeks later I called the vendor and found that there had been a mistake and the product had not yet been shipped. They were very apologetic and once they were aware of the problem, I received the roller within 3 days. Hate to have to follow-up with vendors in order to get the product.

Satisfied with the roller, vendor service–not so much. Click here for more info on this massage product

Classic Art of Sensual Massage

Customer Review: Hello 1972!!
Just warning you that this video was made in 1972!! and you can tell, the hippies make you laugh a little. Other than that, it was a great video, teaches easy massage technique that any one can learn. My husband and I watched the video together, and we both learned how to give a nice massage. I never expected to get an hour massage from my husband, but I did with this video!!
A+
Customer Review: Complete Body Massage with all the trimmings
Well organized, lovely to look at (nudity wtihout the clumsy lewdness that infects some massage videos) and comprehensive, this is a video to share with a loved one. It’s more an experience, than a video presentation. The introductory material takes you through preparing a massage area from scratch (easy!), setting up some massage oil, relaxing your partner and providing soothing background stimulation like music and scent.

The massage itself is presented in great detail with real expertise. The people in the film are attractive and really do look like they are being massaged. You watch a real massage move over the Chest and Abdomen, Head, Arms, Hands, Front of the legs, Feet, Back of the Legs and Back. Individual strokes are shown and explained well. You really can follow along stroke by stroke, trying things as you watch. There’s also lots of information about the body and the senses. The main emphasis throughout is on pleasure. You are encouraged to try what you see on the screen. There’s also lots of information on the effects massage has on the body. [Read more →]
