5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for both novice and experts!, April 13, 2000

By A Customer

I really loved this book. It clearly explains the western and eastern views on body energy meridians. The diagrams that are used are some of the best I have seen. I have been able to find exact pressure points with the author's precise instructions very easily. I have used the pressure points to relieve headaches and pain associated with kidney infections. I know that this book will benefit anyone who takes the time to read and apply it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for anyone into the touch therapies, September 12, 2003

By	Penny G "muzorch" (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews

I was fortunate to find out about this book back in 1999 through a casual converstion with a Licensed massage therapist just before I had finished my own training for LMT.

This book really helped me grasp the concepts necessary for me to pass the National Exam. And to be perfectly honest, if I had not studied out of this book, I would have had a lot more difficulty passing the National Exam.
I can only hope they will reprint this book because my copy is a bit over-used and over-loved. To this very day I keep going back and referring to my copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent educational guilde, July 14, 2008

By	Gwen Mcclellan "Gwen McClellan, Integrative A... (Hadley, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Integrative Acupressure is an excellent educational guide for individuals interested in either working on themselves, studying Integrative Acupressure as a tool to use working with others, or as an adjunct to an already existing practice. I am an Integrative Acupressurist, having studied with my brother, then worked at his New England Institute for Integrative Acupressure. He continues to develop new and remarkable ways of addressing organs, systems, and fostering the balance of health. I provide consultations to Practitioners ( and their clients )who have acquired significant skills simply by studying his accessible book. I use this book to teach individuals these skills and create a stable, productive practice of their own. And I enjoy returning to the pages with repetition to remind myself, find new valuable information I missed before, and relish the way it speaks so responsively and comprehensively to so many readers I have spoken to, whether they be accustomed to this work, or newly acquainted. Integrative Acupressure enables so many of us to offer to a broad range of clients an ability to support significant change in great illness, health, acute emergency, pregnancy, to infants and older people, four footeds and two, and to evaluate and address the health of complex structure, all organs and systems. This book offers a guide to slowly add all of these skills to the work you already do with yourself and others.
