I teach massage therapists. Although somewhat dated, it offers wonderful relaxing massage techniques including a self massage routine covered by Shari Belefonte. Clear and easy to follow.

The massage school I attend has this video and it has proven to be an excellent visual aid for myself and others.

Sensitively done, this video will guide you through a complete body message giving you time between each section to stop the tape should you choose to rewind or go on. Comes with handbook that gives more detailed information. Very usable for a family or couple wanting to learn basic massage techniques to help ease sore muscles or simply relax.

My fiancè and I recieved this video as a Christmas Present. It has proven to be useful for learning the basic strokes. After learning only the first portion of the video, he successfully rid me of a sore shoulder in 10 minutes versus his usual half-hour.(not too mention that I would still be sore) While the video is very dry, it is great for naming and showing basic steps. Once we conquer this, on to more advanced techniques!!!

This video lacks any real warmth or sensuality. It's for therapists who want to learn to massage in a clinical setting.

This video is based on Swedish massage and is very hands on. If you want to learn swedish techniques, then this will show you alot of moves for a little money. I wouldn't order it for any other reason as I feel it is lacking in other areas.

This is a very easy-to-follow instructional video perfect for beginners. It tastefully teaches basic techniques for a full body massage and is paced so that you can comfortably follow along with the video. Each technique is clearly demonstrated and explained, along with some basic massage concepts. It goes into just enough detail that you feel confident performing the techniques without feeling overwhelmed. It also describes how to take care around sensitive areas such as the spine. Unlike other instructional massage videos I've seen, the camera is never blocked in this one, so you can always clearly see what's going on. Highly recommended!

I didn't like the video and I wish I hadn't spent the money. I would have learned a lot more by getting a pro to give me a full-body massage. (and it would have felt good :)

As a beginner who enjoys rubbing my friends' backs, I bought this video expecting to learn some "real/pro" techniques. Instead, I just found a very, very brief overview of a mostly-full-body massage... there was very little (almost no) explanation or help concerning how to position yourself or use your weight or keep your hands from getting tired... it was just a few really short sessions of watching people get a body part massaged. hmph...

I'll give it 2 stars instead of 1 because there was no sexual or explicit content, which I was a little worried about, given the connotations that sometimes go with massage.

Bottom line, I would suggest that you give/receive massages instead of buying this video!
