Customer Reviews

Wow
This video is absolutely great! Many of these instructional videos are down right boring. They usually have some mono-tone instructor in a room showing the techniques. This video is different. The instructor is excited about what he's doing and you can tell from watching the video. Also, a lot of it is filmed outside so it captures the tranquility of what the massage is all about. I would have to say that it's one of the most unique instructional videos I have ever seen and I have seen a lot of them! All in all, a great video and a great price and would recommend it to anyone, advanced or beginner, who wants to learn more about Swedish massage!

Excellent video
I was very pleased with this DVD. Meade Steadman demonstrates numerous techniques using male and female models. He covers the entire body thoroughly and offers practical advice throughout the video. Unlike other videos, Steadman both performs the massage and explains the techniques at the same time. Other videos use voice-over narration to explain what you're seeing, which is not nearly as enjoyable or as effective.

very good tape
I LEARNED MORE FROM THIS TAPE THAN ANY OTHER TAPES,BOOKS AND SCHOOL COMBINED.
