I own several massage videos, but Bob's is far and away the most empowering. I also own many of the massage books published in the last few years, but "Massage With Confidence" teaches the fundamentals faster and more thoroughly. And Bob didn't give me a toaster to say this, either.

I have purchased and viewed a number of massage instruction tapes, and"Massage with Confidence" remains my favorite. The video provides thorough,professional information and demonstration without any of the silly GranolaBar trappings that muddy so many other massage instruction tapes. The tapeteaches a good, basic massage, including graphic representation of goodspots and bad spots, and if you can get just one--this is it.

Over the years I've collected numerous massage videos. I've been disappointed that most are either sensual in nature, or don't show enough advanced techniques. With Massage with Confidence, I found a gold mine.

The massage sequence shown was amazing. It was a wonderful combination of gentle, soothing strokes and deeper techniques. Robert (the guy on the video) even used his elbows for deep pressure. I was impressed also by the clear instruction that he gave with each technique.

This video gave me some basic anatomy and physiology to understand what I was going to massage, but even more important, it showed me the "caution" areas so I don't hurt anyone.

Of all the massage videos I own, this one I can't do without. If you buy just one video, make it this one.

I ordered the video "Massage with Confidence" after I had seen the great previews on your website. I wanted to give massages to my wife in a way that is pleasing, not painful or useless. Now I have ordered a massage table due to the massive requests I have been getting after my wife has boasted about my professional-like methods of massage techniques to all her friends. Thank you, thank you for such a great, informative video. My overall self confidence level has risen 10 notches after applying your simple techniques to just a few people. Now I come home to messages on my answering machine of friends wanting an appointment... Thank you Bodymechanics...

Mr. Haase:I used your video as a basis for training physical therapists to give full bodymassages to normal volunteers to see if we could induce an immunologicresponse; we were. The data derived from the study are currently in draftmanuscript form. We measured subjective endpoints as well as objective measuresof immunologic markers. The success of this study has led to a project to givemassages to breast cancer patients post bone marrow transplantation. Therationale: if it woeks in normal subjects, it should work in immunocompromisedpatients. We chose physical therapists as caregivers because they are trainedbodyworkers but do not have the biases of MTs. The biases relate only to themyriad of MT schools & techniques, not to their level of professionalism andcompetence. I watched your video in excess of 20 times. That, plus accession ofa 30 volume library of MT books allowed me to formulate the methodology to dothe IRB-approved research projects. Can you believe that we paid healthyvolunteers to have a massage? The study was fun to conduct and was a surprisethat this intervention was able to induce a measurable and statisticallysignificant increase in the immunologic marker that was selected. The assaysused were gold standard ELISAs.
