Press Here! Massage for Beginners: A Simple Route to Relaxation and Relieving Tension

I am so happy with this book that I am writing a review after reading only few pages of it! First of, the book’s design is absolutely beautiful. The book is written in a very simple and friendly style. The pictures in the book are many and they are large! That’s what I want to have: less difficult text, more pictures showing how to do it. I would recommend this book to anyone who knows nothing about massage just like me and wants to learn it for themselves and their loved ones.

I have always been interested in massage therapy. This book is great for beginners. Easy to follow and I learned so much

I bought it for a friend. He said it was informative, easy to understand and well worth the price.

The illustrations are amazing The colors are amazing Everything about this book is amazing It’s easy to read I put it on my massage desk next to all my other zen stuff. It looks like it belongs there.

Good looking, short book on Swedish Massage techniques. I especially enjoyed the self-massage instructions. This book would benefit someone looking for detailed, beautiful drawings on the basics of a massage. 3 Stars

surprisingly helpful. the steps for a Swedish massage very clear to understand.

Very concise

This book will have a place on my shelf for many years to come! My first impression was the cleverly designed aesthetic, which uses a combination of pastel colors, fun banners and varying fonts to catch the eye. Aesthetics are important to me if a book is going to hold my attention, and it definitely checks that box! Chapters are broken down logically, and provide details on everything from opening and closing a session to types of strokes and techniques. One of my favorite sections is the one on ergonomics and self-care for the provider. Whenever I give my husband a massage, I end up sore myself, so I'm excited to put these tips to use! My other favorite chapter is the one on massage for specific ailments, such as headaches and insomnia. Considering this is a book for beginners looking to treat themselves and loved ones, I'm impressed by how much information is packed in here! Highly recommend.

Great book, gives history and theory that has developed practice. Arrived promptly and in perfect condition.

Great information

This book has overwhelmingly positive reviews, and it is an attractive, thoughtful and clearly laid out book. Personally I found it it focused too heavily on aesthetics which acted as padding. The info could have been delivered in a lot fewer pages. I have no issue with the actual written content and illustration but it is definitely only meant as an introduction (as it is marketed). I will need to look elsewhere for further step by step guidance. It is unlikely I would use this book for future reference.

Bought for my son, as he often massages his nans hands because she has athirtus! Very helpful and informative for anyone that's massaging either themselves or anyone else. Tells you how to massage different areas of the body from head to feet!!

Delivery took a little while but overall a nifty little book. Easy to read and understand.
