Book Reviews of Massage: The Ultimate Illustrated Guide

Book Review: Disorganized, lacks sensuality, hard for the beginner
Summary: 2 Stars

Ms. Hudson can't resist the temptation to throw in dozens of obscure massage practices from her extensive travels. The result is needlessly complex and snobby. If you are willing to make the effort you will learn something here and there, although some of the techniques are quite difficult. I'm not convinced that even Hudson knows how to do them. To sum up, this would mainly interest a massage fanatic. It's hardly an "ultimate" book on the subject. In the end, I returned my copy.

Soothing and revitalizing, massage is the supreme mind-body therapy for people of all ages.

State-of-the-art photography captures movement on the page, showing exactly how each stroke should be performed. A series of unique international masterclasses features routines ranging from Thai and traditional Indian bridal massage to shiatsu and Swedish massage. Beauty treatments for face and body include a facial massage for a natural face-life, and a hydrotherapy massage to boost circulation and tone the muscles. Therapeutic massage, based on the latest medical research, offers relief for a wide range of health problems. Other treatments include massage for expentant mothers, newborn babies, and the elderly. Fully comprehensive and innovative in its approach, this is the definitive guide to the wide-ranging powers of massage.
