Essential for massage therapists.:
My daughter and sister are taking massage therapy classes in different states with different schools. Both agree that this is the book they use the most and will keep for a reference. If you can find the coordinating flash cards they recommend getting them also. They are a great study aid.

Very happy with this.:
Purchased as a gift for my sister who is going to school for massage. She is thrilled with the book

I'll be sure to update and let you know the result!
