DVD Reviews of Massage with Confidence
DVD Review: good but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a professionally licensed massage therapist with 6 years experience.
I based my buying decision on reviews and the DVD description and jacket photo, which give the impression that advanced massage techniques are demonstrated. This video presents very basic Swedish massage, nothing more. The contents listed on the DVD cover claim to teach myofascial release, trigger point therapy, sports massage and deep tissue techniques. Sorry to say, NONE of these is included in the massage session in the video. I'm not sure how the therapist, Robert Haase, expects to perform deep tissue therapy or myofascial release when the first thing he does is slather his client with gobs of massage oil. He does not slow down, much less pause, long enough in his massage to even remotely perform trigger point therapy, deep tissue release or MFR. The video demonstrates a good, basic Swedish massage routine but nothing advanced or unique. If you are a therapist with any experience at all there's little here that will be enlightening. The music soundtrack is annoying and a better choice could have been made.
On a positive note: the model in the video is beautiful and draping is presented in a great way. It was refreshing to see a real massage session performed without a 'first grade' mentality of over-draping. Many therapists fiddle around with draping so much during a session that it destroys vitually all continuity and is very distracting. Most therapists, once they have some experience and have established a trusting, professional relationship with their clients, end up draping as shown anyway. I'm not sure what all the negative comments are addressing-nothing presented in the video violates local laws or will offend the modesty/comfort level of most clients. Every client is different and a therapist should use common sense and drape to make his/her client the most comfortable, the video merely shows one way of doing it.
If you are new to massage this is a good video to have and you'll no doubt pick up some useful tidbits of information. If you are interested in advanced or structural massage (sports, trigger point, MFR) you'll find none of that here. Art Riggs', "Advanced Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release", is an excellent choice for serious therapists.
