Customer Reviews

Stay-at-home mom of three loves this idea!

I have three kids under 9 and can't get a spare minute to think about getting a massage! This book is just wonderful -- I can de-stress anywhere from the front seat of my minivan to the sidelines of a baseball game. It is amazing how a little pressure on the right spot can really give you back your energy!

Kaoverii presents a beautiful guide to making yourself happy

I always thought that massaging myself was pointless, that it was something better left to an expert. Little did I know that in many cases I was the best person for the job. Tight calves and shoulders were some of my biggest problem areas but now I have the tools to take care of them myself. What a great gift!

Great if you're a heavy air traveler

Sitting cramped in airline seats for hours is not good. Using the techniques in this book is! For someone who travels a lot, this is a great book!

A great read!

I used to be sore and tired after a round of golf, but after reading this book and trying several of the techniques my energy level has increased and my body seems much more energized!

What a Relief!

Great book. It has helped a lot with my chronic neck pain. I would say this is one of the only books that offers solutions and explains clearly how to relieve the aching without being too medical-techy.
