Massage Yourself is concerned with self-treatment, self-help and personal empowerment and describes a remedial massage system where you massage yourself. The book focuses on specific muscles without repetition. It covers two main types of technique: kneading and friction, and explains which muscles, tendons and ligaments are being massaged, where they are located, which part of your hand or massage tool is best to use and it explains how to do the massage technique. It is clear, easy to read, user friendly and contains hundreds of photographs and line drawings showing massage techniques for every part of the body, as well as anatomy illustrations and provides bullet points, which take you through the techniques step-by-step.
Self-massage can complement treatment by helping to fix problems or remove the need for treatment by preventing health problems developing. The book is useful for anyone who works with their own body, including manual workers, musicians, dancers, yoga students, personal trainers, sports coaches, athletes and sports people, or anyone who works on other people's bodies including masseurs, osteopaths, physiotherapists, chiropractors, manual therapists, yoga teachers, naturopaths, medical doctors, exercise physiologists, Pilates and aerobics teachers.
Self-massage can reduce treatment time and improve the health and efficiency of your muscles, tendons and ligaments without the need for expensive equipment, and once learned, can be used safely at home. It is especially useful when lots of short sessions of treatment are needed but are inconvenient for the patient. A patient can be working on his or her problem between treatments. Working from home can be so much easier and time saving.
