The Easy Massage Workbook: A Complete Massage Class in a Book

Learning how to give a massage has never been easier! With this comprehensive workbook, it's simple to master a variety of basic techniques (stroking, kneading, knuckling, friction) and routines. In addition to instructions for a full-body massage, there are focused ones for such common ailments as backaches, tension headaches, and eyestrain. And there's special attention given to vulnerable groups--pregnant women, babies, and the elderly--who require extra care. An introductory section covers all the practical preparations, and an entire chapter is devoted to choosing the right oil--complete with recipes. This new edition of a popular favorite is a must-have for would-be masseurs!
