  • While some of the products are available from international/ overseas sites, our prices are generally the same or lower when considering the extra high overseas postage and import duty. You may not notice that when you order from overseas, you have to add about US$10 of postage per item.

  • You get the assistance of a local contact for any queries and problems.

  • This site is run by a massage therapist who knows the details of the technique and the kind of product you need.

  • We have a good reputation for service and quality.

  • We are passionate with massage, we don't just sell DVDs, we provide lots of information.

  • We bring you only the best massage DVDs for bodyworkers in Australia. All of the DVDs have been reviewed first for their quality and information. Those that are found not to be of good quality will be removed from our list.

  • We only sell high quality educational massage technique videos. Most massage videos widely available on commercial shops are bulk-produced and only provides 'scratches on the surface' on the theory and practices. Although the price is higher than bulk-produced videos, you get much more from it than just simple stroke and relaxation technique.

Can I learn new techniques from watching a video?

  • Yes, you can learn new techniques, although you cannot feel the sense of touch from watching DVD, the experience can be equivalent to a class/ workshop. You can gain new knowledge from renown instructor (from US and Australia). Although it is best to experience a class/ workshop, when you have limited budget, to travel to other towns (most of the time) the cost can escalate quickly.

  • The best is to watch and practice it with a fellow therapist.

  • You learn the same technique from a reputable instructor at your living room, at your own time. It is a reference that can be consulted at any the time. Seeing the techniques performed live is the key, more than a just a book with pictures.
  • Remember that the information contained on the DVDs are not meant to take the place of diagnosis and treatment by a qualified medical practitioner.

 

Disclaimer

  • We disclaim any liability arising directly or indirectly from the use or misuse of the techniques presented in the DVDs.

How to care for your DVD
  • Unfortunately DVD is not indestructible, it is prone to scratch. Dirt, fingerprints, or scratches that come between the laser and the information in the disc can prevent the correct reading of the video information.

Several tips

  • Handle discs by the outer edge or the center hole.
  • Return discs to storage cases immediately after use.
  • Leave discs in their packaging (or cases) to minimize the effects of environmental changes.
  • Do not Expose discs to extreme heat or high humidity.
  • Do not Write or mark in the data area of the disc (the area the laser "reads").
  • Use an air puffer to blow off dust.
  • Use a soft cotton cloth or chamois to wipe the disc.
  • Try cleaning with a dry cloth first, before using any cleaning -solutions.
  • Do not wipe in a direction going around the disc.
  • Wipe from the center of the disc straight toward the outer edge.
  • Avoid using paper products, including lens paper, to wipe the disc.
  • Avoid using anything abrasive on the surface of the disc.
  • If the disc has a heavy accumulation of dirt, try rinsing it with water first.
  • Use commercially available water-based detergent formulated for cleaning the surface of optical discs.
  • Use isopropyl alcohol or methanol, as an alternate to water-based detergents, to clean the disc surface.

If after cleaning, your DVD still cannot be played properly (pictures skipping and stopping) the best advice is to take it to your local DVD rental shop and ask them to "clean" it for you. They usually charge about $5.
