Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Being a massage therapist, this book has been very useful for me. I specialize in deep tissue and neuromuscular therapy, dealing with all kinds of muscle related symptoms, and this book is a great one to keep in your pocket.
Very concise and clear, with helpful illustrations on how to position your client and yourself. A must-have for anyone working with clients dealing with musculoskeletal problems.
