  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.

  This is the book that got me started in pursuing my career. Maria expains every technique and concept with great detail. Outstanding diagrams and descriptions of meridians and points. Client evaluations and treatments are also included. A must for the professional Massage Therapist.
