5.0 out of 5 stars Stay-at-home mom of three loves this idea!, April 17, 2006

By	Stay-At-Home mom of 3 "Colleen" (upstate New York) - See all my reviews

I have three kids under 9 and can't get a spare minute to think about getting a massage! This book is just wonderful -- I can de-stress anywhere from the front seat of my minivan to the sidelines of a baseball game. It is amazing how a little pressure on the right spot can really give you back your energy!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Relief!, March 28, 2006

By	Charles S. Schaffer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great book. It has helped a lot with my chronic neck pain.
I would say this is one of the only books that offers solutions and explains clearly how to relieve the aching without being too medical-techy.

Sitting cramped in airline seats for hours is not good. Using the techniques in this book is! For someone who travels a lot, this is a great book!
