4.0 out of 5 stars Great For Aspiring Massage Therapists, June 14, 2003

By	Elle (Arizona) - See all my reviews

These two dvds really do cover a wide range of massage techniques. The Basic Massage dvd is best to base your routine around. The Professional Massage dvd goes into more technical detail with names of different muscles and tissues. The Professional Massage dvd also goes one step further and gives some tips on setting up your own massage business. The reason why I give this product only 4 stars is the production quality is poor, especially on the Professional Massage dvd. The picture quality is grainy and when the instructer points to notes on a dry erase board, the picture is so over-lighted that you can not read parts of the board. However, this dvd is still worth the cost for all the information that you get. For those people who are interested in massage therapy as a career, I also suggest the book "Massage Therapy Career Guide" by Steve Capellini (ISBN: 1562533827). This book covers all the behind the scenes business to becomming a massage therapist. One of the best parts of the book gives tips on massage tests. I have yet to find anything more nerve racking than giving a test massage to a potential future employer, but this section takes a lot of tension out of the situation. Other great features include liability insurance, taxes, third-party billing, dream and nightmare days in the life a massage therapist and the Resource section is lengthy, concise and filled with addresses, phone numbers and URLs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for massage students, June 5, 2004

By A Customer

This is a great learning tool for learning Swedish massage and some trigger points. There is nothing like seeing it done physically as opposed to seeing it in a book. The video is done well and I used it to help me get through massage school. I also found it as a helpful reference when I studied for the National Certification Examination for Massage and Bodywork. I also found the following excellent preparation sources for the national certification exam.
Patrick Leonardi's "The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers" Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3. The study guides were so complete for the type of questions encountered on the national exam. This is a must buy for anyone taking the National Certification Exam. These books helped me to pass the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best video I have seen so far..., August 17, 2005

By	J. Statham (Chico, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am enrolled in the study of massage therapy in school, and have been looking for a video to help supplement my career field. This is absolutely the best video I have come across so far. It wraps up the basic techniques of massage therapy, and also let me know what to expect as I enter the career field.

So glad I ran across this, I am recommending it to all my classmates and my teacher as well. Thanks again!
