February 27, 2008: I go to a massage therapist regularly and know the benefits of massage. I thought SELF-MASSAGE FOR ATHLETES would be a book that I would like. It is divided into three sections. Section 1 covered why every athlete needs massage. It could have gone further and said why every PERSON needs massage. Since I do massage, I am versed on the benefits and didn?t learn anything new. BUT for someone thinking about massage or wanting to learn more, this Section covered the whys/benefits extremely well. Section 2 explained the how-to?s by describing the seven strokes and then gave instructions on how to massage the various areas of the body. It also included when to use self-massage. Section 3 explained other types of massage and tools that can be used to provide the massage such as a shower ? water pressure is a great reliever! It talks about coaches and personal trainers and when to consult a medical professional instead of using massage. All in all, it covers self-massage in terms and words that any layperson can follow. If you have never considered self-massage to relieve everyday aches and pains, don?t let the title fool you. It is a book not only for athletes but for EVERY person!
