Movie Reviews of Basic Massage Therapy
Movie Review: Very disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this as part of a reasonably priced Combo package.
However, the material, all of it, is of very poor quality, both in presentation and content. It looks like very old material rehashed.
The "Basic Massage" DVD is a recording of a therapist giving a massage. Unfortunately, in my view at least, if someone new to massage does not know which muscle is being massaged, in which direction, with which technique and to what purpose, it is very hard for them to periodically pause the presentation and meaningfully copy the activity shown in the DVD. There is much better material with associated graphics available, some on the web for free
PS Re Available Material: A review of (better) massage material (DVDs, books etc) available can be found at the TerraRosa massage web site
It scores the Basic Massage Therapy video 0/5 and says "This DVD is a waste of time. Available on the web and Amazon with great hype and labels such as "#1 best seller" & "A must see" by Dr. Heith Root, "Golden Web Award". "Recommended by Indiana College of Oriental Medicine", This college is a Martial Arts College run by a church. Showing June a "certified therapist" giving Swedish massage from a distance."
I should have read this before buying the set
Not only are this company's products apparently highly rated by obscure/bizarre/non-existent organisations and "experts", I note that many of the rave reviewers appear to (i) have bought many/all of this company's products (and largely only their products, no other massage products that I can see), (ii) rated them all 5/5 and (iii) used extreme, over-the-top superlatives to describe these very mediocre products.
One of the products is even given 5/5 by someone who admits that they have not yet bought it. Some of the products seem to have been reviewed several times by the same person, with different stories as to how/why they bought them and how wonderful they were. All very Puzzling.
Movie Review: Don't waste your time
Summary: 2 Stars
Video was very boring and not very informative. Clinical terminology was used which is not helpful to non-medical persons. Basically showed a 30 minute massage, step by boring step. Unattractive person narrating...Ugh!Movie Review: not great

This book gives some basic instruction to techniques, but the camera view often shows the demonstrator's back, blocking the view of her hands.Movie Review: Are we reviewing the same product?
Summary: 1 Stars
Buyer beware...the pretty case cover contains a poorly made video. The sound is muffled and tinny and the video quality is just ok. I've even seen the Blu-ray version and the material is the same content and quality. I was expecting something more instructional and educational from a dvd titled Basic Massage Therapy. This was little more than watching someone give a massage, with occaional verbal cues as to what they were doing. Little explanation as to the how and why. You will learn more by getting a massage.
