5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply Wonderful!,
By An Avid Reader (Sausalito, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art of Massage: A Practical Manual for the Nurse, the Student and the Practitioner (Paperback)
One of the first books printed that goes into detail on the wonderful art of massage - used so extensively in the east but only brought to light again in the west in the mid to late 1800's. A valuable book for anyone in the healing arts wanting to know a little history behind a phenomena that is finally becoming an accepted and beneficial alternative form of healing.

An Invaluable Resource,
This review is from: Art of Massage: A Practical Manual for the Nurse, the Student and the Practitioner (Paperback)
I was interested in generally learning more about the art of massage. This is a wonderful book for the curious or the practitioner. It is a great introduction to massage, speaking of the history as well as practical application. Excellent!
