About the Book
Deep tissue massage should be fun, healing and—although painful at times—a team effort.
Angela M. Landeros, a licensed massage therapist, leverages her more than ten years of experience to explore how massage can help people feel their best. You’ll find guidance on how to:
use brain games to redirect pain response;
promote talking and laughing to help breathing;
build trust with massage clients;
create the right atmosphere with music, sound, and smells.
and equally important–teach you how to use your body correctly in order to lengthen your career!
The methods the author outlines—called Summa Teq—rely on images meant to make each massage move memorable. For instance, you can imagine wrestling a dinosaur or thinking of your elbow as a jackhammer to get the job done.
Help people heal, feel their best, and maximize their potential whether they are an athlete or sitting in a cubicle all day with the methods and insights in Adventures in Massage.
