  • concernedcitizen

    My wife struggles with back and neck pain. This book is simple enough even for a simpleton like me to understand and use. Great results. Just don't forget to shell out on some decent massage oil.Also, the level of detail is fantastic. A real education.

  • goodreads Customer

    The pages weren’t cut correctly I guess at time of print so were joined at the top and when I tried to separate them at the perforated join some of them ripped. Really disappointed as this was supposed to be a gift.
