  A good massage is as enjoyable to give as it is to receive, and with the right guidance and a little practice everyone is capable of giving a wonderful, therapeutic massage. This lavishly illustrated practical guide is divided into three sections. The first, Massage, describes the basic techniques -- effleurage, petrissage, friction and tapotement -- then proceeds through a whole body massage from head to toe. Instructions for baby massage and older people are also provided. The second section, The Sensual Touch, addresses erotic massage between partners, and the last section, Reflexology, addresses the popular and effective system of using acupressure points on the feet to reduce stress, improve circulation, clean the body of impurities and toxins and revitalize energy levels.
