Amazon Customer Review: Highly recommended. The tape was well paced and flows well. I am a registered therapist in England ( ITEC ) and found some new techniques that I will use in my routines .

The best massage therapy DVD ever made. This massage therapy DVD is the ultimate DVD purchase every serious massage student should see and own. It offers by far the most numerous techniques within just one DVD. It is the most popular DVD within our library collection at the Brooklyn Institute of Massage Therapy (New York).

Our students have demonstrated improvement in massage techniques learned from this DVD in our student clinic. I highly recommend this DVD above all other massage DVDs if one is all you wish to purchase. All of the female students have stated that the very handsome models used in the DVD didn't hurt their eyes and actually extended their interest and attention in the academic content of the presentation, which for all intensive purposes resulted in student learning. That is a definite plus. *** Virginia Chang - President of the Brooklyn Institute of Massage Therapy ***
