This book is very involved and informational. It will take me many hours to investigate it and practice the reccomendations. It is a little too heavy for a first time massage user. I need a more simple instructional book, but this book would do for intermediate.

Good visual guideMarch 9, 2007 CMT(St. Paul) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have recently become certified as a Massage Therapist, but did not receive any training in chair massage. I wanted a good visual guide so that I could apply what I already know and be able to offer chair massage as a service. This book is a good guide for me.
