Publisher's Synopsis
Massage is a type of integrative medicine in which a massage therapist manipulates your skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. In massage therapy, a trained, certified medical professional (massage therapist) manipulates the soft tissues of your body - muscle, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and skin. In this book, written a licensed massage therapist, you will learn how to perform an hour-long, full-body massage without your back or hands hurting. These are the same massage therapy techniques performed by the professionals and the massage style used in the professional massage therapy practice.
