This review is from: 5-Minute Massages: Fingertip Techniques for Over 30 Common Complaints (Pyramid Paperback) (Paperback)
This is not a long book, but it's full of pictures showing clearly how to give massages to improve energy and relieve stress.
There are many very easy techniques that you can do yourself--no expensive salon needed!--techniques that can aid you when you are aching. For example, there are quick fixes to use on muscle cramps. "Calf cramps are muscle contractions that send the calf into spasm....they can be alleviated with a simple kneading stroke" (p 94). Tennis elbow, painful joints, sinusities, earache, insomnia, and a stiff neck are but a few of the painful aches that can be fixed or helped by these easy massages.
