I am an acupuncturist who was looking to do some chair massage, which was not an area covered during my schooling. I have acquired a lot of massage books, but this one stands out. It gives a suggested routine that is simple and logically arranged. It was easy to use the suggested routine as a springboard for a more customized session. The only caveat is that you need to be familiar with basic massage techniques to understand what is going on. So in that respect it really isn't a book for a lay person, it is more for a beginning professional.

A GOOD PRODUCT WITH A GOOD INSIGHT INTO SEATED MASSAGE WITH SOME GOOD TECHNIQUES INCLUDING SELF MASSAGE AND WARM UP.

I am definitely an amateur who simply enjoys being able to help my friends and family with acupressure and massage. I found this book to be highly accessible and one of the better works I've encountered on the subject. I was able to quickly find techniques that were new and readily applicable to add to my repertoire.

very handy for someone who is thinking about accupressure as a sidegig. the pictures are quite helpful, makes it easier to figure out the material.

This book is easy to follow and a must for any student. It explains the concept of seated massage and even helps the reader to approach setting up his or her own business. New to clothed massage I am eager to learn more. Even if this is the only book I buy on this topic, I can see myself being able to give a fantastic on-site massage!

I am a massage therapist.
I am terribly disappointed by this book.
It could at least be a good book for beginners unless there were not so many theoretical errors and inconsistencies.
Pictures repeatedly swaping meridian names, missing pictures, doubled pictures, no reference to the pictures in the text, so many cut and paste with flagrant errors in them ....
I cannot understand that such big errors can be in a book ? It has not been reviewed by its author and certainly thrown into the market to fill a hole.
This book is definitely not for therapist, not for anybody, stay away...
