Review
"Art's passion, teaching expertise, and therapeutic knowledge blend beautifully in this user-friendly text. Every somatic therapist will gain valuable insights for energizing their practice and enhancing skills. The book is obviously a labor of love, and as the great author, poet, and artist John Ruskin once stated, 'When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.'"
--Erik Dalton, Ph.D., Developer of the Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques and founder of the Freedom From Pain Institute
"Art Riggs is masterful at teaching and explaining deep bodywork. We unreservedly recommend his materials in our workshops, and his updated "Deep Tissue Massage" will be an indispensable aid to practitioners, teachers, schools, and students."
--Til Luchau, Certified Advanced Rolfer, Faculty of the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration and Director and Lead Instructor of Advanced-Trainings.com
"Art Riggs has created a superb teaching tool for the classroom and a matchless clinical reference manual. His book captures the background context and specific applications of deep tissue work in a word and picture, while conveying the essence and importance of attitude and approach."
--Keith Eric Grant, Ph.D., NCTMB, Research physicist and director of the McKinnon Institute Sports & Dip Tissue Program

Customer Reviews

Excellent, detailed book on deep tissue massage
This is a great book - one of the few massage books with real detail on how to actually perform deep tissue massage.

It probably won't be much use to people not already well versed in massage but to practitioners it's a gold-mine.

Deep Tissue Massage: A Visual Guide to Techniques.
very quick delivery;
Fantastic book, I have already got the DVDS and this is a great in-depth manual to go with them.
well worth investment

Review
Fascinating reading for the advanced practitioner, clear with lots of photos. I am a massage teacher and picked up several new tips. Well worth the money.
