Seated Upper Body Massage for All by Andrew Skeats


Suitable for Therapists : Practitioners : Workers : Carers :Disabled : Sportspeople 


In this book Andrew Sceats who is a respected complementary therapy practitioner and accredited tutor clearly describes his Seated Upper Body Massage sequence which he has taught over 700 students.

Copious text and many photographs cover in depth the massage routine on the client;s back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, scalp and face. His sequence is a fusion of sty;es of bodywork, and many movements such as The Ballerina Lift, the Ballerina Pirouette and the Tommy Cooper Shuffle are unique to his sequence which has been developed and is developing after 6 years of teaching.

The sequence can be used as a framework for treating clients which is not prescriptive and makes allowance for a therapist's different skill, experience and fitness levels.

The book shows an ergonomic Seated Massage chair and desktop massage unit in action. The use of massage aids and the therapist sitting down during a part of the treatment are explained.

The treatment of many disabled people including those in wheelchairs with seated massage is a need which has been greatly overlooked.

If therapists want the answers to diverse questions such as what equipment is needed for a seated massage treatment; how do I approach a company; what are meridians and Tsubo points; and what is a good stretch for tennis elbow this is the book to buy.
