“Cleo Mooney does more than demonstrate the proper techniques for massaging others; she also devotes an extended section of the program to the art of self-massage.  Briskly paced and modestly priced, this program just may make a dent in the sell-through market.”

“Relaxation is the key word in today’s stress-filled life, and more health-minded persons are discovering the benefits of relaxing with a massage.  This is a unique video because it is both instructional for someone learning to be a masseur and instructor Cleo demonstrates how to give yourself a massage.  Techniques are plainly shown how to relieve tension in neck, shoulders, back, hips, chest, abdomen, legs, arms, feet, face and head.”

“Learn how to relieve tension from your head to your feet, locate trigger points for best results, select the best oils for your skin, and more.   You can reduce stress and pain, at your own pace.” 

“Winner of the ITVA Medallion Award, this excellent video with a soothing score makes it easy to relax while learning how to massage oneself or another.  In the first segment, Cleo demonstrates a body massage with practical tips on how to select the right oil, ease aching muscles, and locate trigger points for deeper releaf; the techniques are amazingly easy to learn, and there are many helpful close-up shots. Segment two’s self-massage section can be put into immediate use; exclusive spas have used these techniques to pamper arms, legs, hands and feet, treat cellulite, improve the complexion, and soften skin for years.  Now the secret of the glowing salt rub is available to everyone!  Highly recommended.”

“Here’s yet another massage video. This one is the most exotic and least medically-oriented of the titles reviewed here. Host Cleo acts like a sort of mystic as she demonstrats massage techniques. A bonus: She also demonstrates how you can massage yourself.”

“An attractive and provocative jacket photograph conceals what is otherwise a highly professional, nonpornographic treatment of whole body massage, beginning with extensive instructions on back strokes, contuing with upper legs, then calf, hips, feet and stomach. “Knead the flesh as if it were bread or clay,” the instructor recommends, “and never force, but improvise and be gentle!” The camera angles present excellent focus on various techniques of massage, showing hand movements in close detail… Included in the presentation is a long, detailed description of self-massage techniques which, because they are not widely known or undersdtood, should interest and benefit a general audience.”- ****

“What is more relaxing than a massage? Reading books is a way to learn the techniques of manipulating your own or someone else’s body to help release tension, tone up muscles or simply relax. Massage for Relaxation presents a masic massage video primer that provides the viewer with an overview of techniques and methods for working on yourself or another. This production gets its point across effectively.”
