DESCRIPTION:
"Great Starter Book" according to Rosalie J. Young. This is a great book for the massage therapy student. Its filled with all the information you will need to begin your education, and a great reference source after you are practising. I especially appreciated the information about business.. Expensive, but there really is no substitute in terms of its scope Hungry Mind Though it has a hefty price tag, this book remains THE CLASSIC for beginning students of professional massage and bodywork. And although I've been a certified therapist since 1991, I still keep the book on my reference shelf (several editions, actually).So if this text is required for your classes, grit your teeth and buy it; the scope of material should continue to serve you long after graduation.**UPDATE**Let me also add that there's an even better massage text available here on .

It does cover a wide range of information necessary to become a good massage therapist, including anatomy, physiology, microbiology, massage techniques, history, business practices & ethics, etc. However, I am very dissatisfied with the accuracy and organization of information.
