This book introduces the basic massage strokes and techniques and then provides 24 specific massage routines. Each routine is directed toward a particular problem: easing tension and stress in different parts of the body; relieving backache and tension headaches; improving well-being during pregnancy; soothing babies and young children; relieving sports injuries and joint pain; and more. More than 400 specially commissioned colour photographs and step-by-step instructions provide guidance through each routine. Also included are tips on self-massage, reflexology and acupressure points, and what massage oils to use. The book is aimed at beginners, but professionals and massage enthusiasts alike will find it a handy reference guide.

A fun and easy introduction to massage,
By A Customer
This review is from: Massage Made Easy (Paperback)
Massage Made Easy begins with background information on the history and benefits of massage, basic massage strokes, and information about acupressure and reflexology. The rest of the book consists of massage routines for specific goals, including relaxation, and relief of backache, tension headache, and joint pains. The reader is given a step-by-step routine of which stokes to perform, and acupressure and reflexology techniques. The routines are illustrated with hundreds of color photographs that show exactly how to do it. Important safety guidelines and information about massage oils are also provided. Overall, I found this book very interesting and easy to understand.
