Synopsis Full of diagrams and pictures, including color photographs, this is an impressive overview of massage techniques. Author/bodyworker Mario-Paul Cassar believes that the public should have access to knowledge about how to treat common aches and pains. In service of that belief, he presents a colorful historical survey of massage, explains essential oils, and describes basic techniques and strokes. Other topics are broken down into either typical body aches or desired states of being, including backache, tension headache, relaxation, sports fitness, and joint pains. The bold layout of this instructional book makes for easy learning. Additional notes accompanying photos and drawings urge proper form and technique as well as advice on what to avoid.
