Who doesn't love a good backrub?

We all know that backrubs feel great, but do you know why? Sure, they relax your muscles, but they do more than that. They bring us into physical contact with another human being, and that itself, is a powerful experience. Add to that experience the trained, therapeutic touch of a massage therapist, and you have a potent tool for improving your physical, mental, and spiritual health.

This video gives you the instruction you need to be that massage therapist and gives you all the tools you need to learn the healing touch of massage. This is great whether you intend to massage for fun or even if you want to pursue this as a career.

I put this on my wish list and then one of my family members bought it for me. I wanted to learn about massage but just didn't have the time to take a class. I've always thought about pursing this as a career but just didnt know how to get started. This video was just what I needed.

The video starts off with the massage therapist preparing a client for a full body massage. She shows you how to do everything for a massage from the beginning to end. The massage therapist doesn't talk during the massage but it looks like she went back in and recorded instruction while the video shows her performing the massage.

The massage therapist works one side of the client's body and then the other while explaining in detail how to do it. She takes about an hour and a half to perform and explain the full massage. She talks you through each part of the massage of each part of the body going into how to massage that specific body part with what to do and what to avoid. I had no idea that there was so much more to it than just a back rub. While it's not difficult to follow along, it would be difficult with the video.

The overall production quality is very good. I was very impressed with the quality and production aspects of this video. While this is a DVD, it's not wide-screen. I almost think it's better since it fills the full screen and shows a closer view of the massage.

The soundtrack is great. There's good music at the front and end. Throughout most of the video there's a nice background sound of a quite waterfall. The massage therapist explained that white noise generators or waterfalls should be used to aid in the relaxation process. It sure works in this video.

The only thing I wish is that they had an intermediate or advanced massage video I could get next.

So, the bottom line is that I got the chance to learn about massage at my own pace i the comfort of my own home. Now that I learned about basic massage, I think that I will take some massage classes and see if I'd like to do this as a career.

Thanks!
