Product Description
by Opensea (Author)
There are over 200 different styles of massage, and it can get a little confusing to decipher how the methods differ and which is best for you. Most of the techniques in this book are Western-based (Swedish massage), but many are influenced by other methods from around the world, including Thai massage, Tui na massage (Chinese), Shiatsu (Japanese), and more.
In the first part of this book, I walk you through the history of massage, the mind-body connection, and basic anatomy, providing you with the foundation you need for giving and receiving massage. From there, I offer massage techniques for the whole body complete with step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations.
I also share instructions for my favorite styles from around the world; positions and techniques for special life circumstances, such as prenatal, baby, couples, and senior massage; and special healing techniques for pain.When starting any new program, such as the massage techniques presented in this book, always consult your physician or other healthcare professional. The information in this book is not intended to diagnose or cure any medical condit on or to replace your healthcare professional.Consult with your healthcare professional if you have any concerns about any of the techniques in this book. If you experience any pain or difficulty with any technique, stop and consult your healthcare provider
