This review is from: The Handbook of Chinese Massage: Tui Na Techniques to Awaken Body and Mind (Paperback)
Ms Mercati gives the reader a good overview of this style of massage. One problem many books on Eastern medicine concepts is that the scientific paradigm of qi, yin-yang, etc is difficult to grasp for someone who has been educated on Western scientific principles. This book starts with an introduction to the Eastern principles in a more understandable, concise fashion. This makes it good for a massage therapist who wants to expand his repertoire. At times, the anatomical descriptions are inaccurate eg: referring to the malleolus as an “ankle bone”; however, the informal style of the book keeps it interesting and readable, as well as informative.
