Massage Therapy for Professionals [Blu-ray]

The DVD is packed with great instructional material going beyond made-for-home-use foo-foo for beginners. It touches anatomy basics, uses more than just ordinary Swedish stuff and shows the actual routine. I'm freshly out of a massage school and new to profession, so found this video extremely helpful and useful. I'm sure even seasoned massage therapists will learn a thing or two, or at least refresh their knowledge of muscles. The only wish for this DVD is better quality of the video itself. It seems to be a digitized VHS tape. I'd say it's worth the money though.

This video was made in 2002 before the flat lcd screens so the image is a litte grainy. But the material is good and the author is very clear and structured in what he is putting forth.

I bought this based on the many glowing 5 star recommendations. The only negatives compared it to watching a VHS tape. More accurately, this tape has the picture and sound quality of a bootleg VHS product. The camera work looks like it was done with one (maybe two) home camcorders. Don't be fooled by the nice clean picture on the cover, that is the only part of the tape produced professionally. The instruction is good enough, but the media aspects (picture, sounds, camera angles) fall short.The instruction is decent enough, but it also refers you to a manual that is not included with the DVD.Again, I recommend the instruction, but the video/audio quality makes it a bit painful to watch. To summarize, think of this as your favorite masseuse talking and providing instructional commentary while recording a massage session with a (or two) camcorder(s) on a stand as well as some classroom instruction at the end.I hope this helps to temper the expectations of all the 5 star dvd ratings.

I did not enjoy this video because it was recorded or produced in 2002. The video is grainy and digitized, it is hard to see what is going on. It is the older video format, so, if you have a wide screen it will only display in the center of the video.The audio is not very bad, but, the video and the audio is confusing because the person doing the movements is on the opposite side of the camera and body, so, you cannot see what they are really doing.I recommend another product with better video illustration. I would have returned this product, but, didn't view the video until four months later.

I bought this video to help review massage techniques that I may not have completely caught in massage school. For me, this video attempts to be a massage course, covering anatomy and massage examples. There wasn’t enough anatomy information to be useful as a course and the massage techniques were quite different than my classes. The video quality was poor.

I was very pleased with this video, and found it to be informative and very helpful. It makes no assumptions of what the audience knows, and explains every step thoroughly and in depth. Very good buy, and I am glad I purchased this video.

Wonderful!

Unused but of great interest.
