I just noticed the price for The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clair Davies has dropped to $12.57 on Amazon.com. If any of you have been waiting to buy it, now's the time! It's such a great resource, I think it's a bargain at any price. But it's a steal right now:

Hello fellow therapists!

I would like to recommend a book I bought lately.
It's a new and one of a kind book about thai acupressure - medical thai massage for orthopedic disorders.
This book is truly a gem and I believe every massage therapist would benefit from it.
You can read about it here:

Have fun :-)

This is an old thread but some of the key books that shaped my development as a massage therapist has been Braving the Void: Journeys into Healing by Michael Greenwood; On Becoming a Person by Carl Rogers; Compassionate Touch, by Clyde Ford; Touching: The Human Significance of the Skin, by Ashley Montagu;Miracle in Maui, by Paul Pearsall; and Changing Reality by Srege Kahili King.

Can anyone recommend a really good book about Lymphatic Drainage Massage.  Not one that is overly technical, though.<br><br>Thanks in advance~<br>DAWN

Start with a class on Manual Lymph Drainage. The course notes alone will provide what you need to practice. Additional texts will be of greater use once you have had that formal training.

Do NOT try to learn MLD on your own from a book or video.
