Movie Reviews of Essentials of Swedish Massage
Movie Review: Meade is a Master Craftsman
Summary: 5 Stars
The only downside to this video is the producers annoying commercials that occupy the first 5 Chapters of the DVD.
Once the video turns to Meade Steadman it becomes a noteworthy DVD. Meade is a Master Craftsman in the Art, Science, and Practical Application of bodywork. The DVD contains some cutting edge techniques that I have not seen while working in the field for 8 years. The presentation is clear, straightforward, and to the point. You won't find useless drivel taking up your valuable time (except as noted in the first paragraph of the review).
Meade touches on issues of conflunece to the professional bodyworker like energy manifestations, aromatherapy, contraindications, and offers some intereting streaching techniques working with various muscle regions.
I gave the DVD five stars based solely on Meade Steadman; but given the commercialization of the DVD by the producers, I would not order again from this company.
If you are looking to enhance your skill set as a bodyworker, I think the DVD is worhtwhile.
