FEEDBACK ON “DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE AND MYOFASCIAL RELEASE”
- THE VIDEO SERIES

Just came across your DVD's while I was doing a program in London. Really impressive! I would like to recommend them to my students.

-Tom Myers, Author of "Anatomy Trains"

I purchased the set of your DvD's and wrote on a couple of occasions at the time. I felt compelled to put fingers to keyboard once more to express my appreciation for the support these have given me. There is hardly a day goes by when i don't refer to them, they have changed the energy around my work entirely. I have now opened up a little studio room and Iím getting busier each week, feeling I can work with a lot more confidence, (not completely there yet though.)

-Yours Gratefully
--Debora C.

I received my video series today, and I just finished watching the first tape. I wanted to thank you and let you know it was just fantastic! Having your book was really helpful and informative, but it pales in comparison to seeing you working live.
P.S. I just finished watching the second video and I am simply blown away by all the wonderful information.

-Nina D. (California)

Absolutely WONDERFUL!…and it is just the first DVD. Congratulations on a top quality product…so I for one, am VERY pleased with my investment!!! I think it would be a great opportunity for you to do at least a little course in Amsterdam.

-Lucie V. (Amsterdam)

Only one disc in and I am already very excited. I was about to go away for a four-day workshop this month that was going to cost me close to $3,000. Due to financial circumstances I had to cancel the workshop, but decided to still treat myself to your series. Well, what a lucky break for me. I cannot imagine anything I could have learned at that workshop that can compare with what I am getting from your teachings.

-Laura G. (Canada)

I wish I had had this resource 12 years ago when I was in physical therapy school. The book and videos have dramatically improved the quality of my work and saved my body from injury.

-Patrick H., Physical therapist and Rolfer

Finally had time to peruse the DVD's. Excellent. Explanations were clear with more than a hint of experience. I was very pleased with the result, and you should be proud of the product, Art. One of the main reasons I bought the DVD's for, is to look at treatment from a different perspective. Even though I was aware of some things, the DVD reminded me about them, and also stimulated other possibilities. It keeps me fresh and interested as well. I will be referring back to them many times in the future.

-Peter G., Osteopath, (London)

I spoke with you last week awaiting the arrival of my DVD's which arrived shortly after I got off the phone with you. I have been glued to this book and these videos all weekend. I've taken two weeks off from my practice to refresh and regain my zeal for this type of work. I have spent sooo much money on advanced classes and workshops that only offered a snack of information and here you are giving away a feast at a fraction on the cost. I am so thankful for the knowledge you've been willing to share and I will be doing the same by giving back to my clients what I'm learning. Thank You Again.
P.S. You have a student for life.

-M.W. (Texas)

DVD's get better and better the more I watch them!!

-Penny M. (England)

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your DVD's. I recommended them to a quite a few folks here in Canada - I hope that a few of them have ordered up a set. The quality of information and the clarity of progressions in treatment were second to none.

-Patrick A. (Canada)

Just wanted to say I have found your book and the accompanying videos to be absolutely excellent. I haven't finished all the videos yet, but they have given me so many new ideas. It really is fantastic. I would be interested in taking any classes that you offer. Could you send me the details such as content, cost, location, and dates?

-Bryan McCoy

Having had a quick flick through both the book & disc #1 of the DVD's, my 1st impression is that this is a fantastically useful body of work which I'll enjoy using as a basic reference text both for me & some of my more advanced students.

Congratulations to you for putting it together ! (and incidentally to my teacher, Tom Myers, for recommending it to me!)

-Philip Newstead (U.K.)

I have to say I'm highly impressed with what I have seen. Once again - thanks for producing a much-needed addition to resources available to SI students and practitioners. It was about time that someone got round to lifting the veil of mysticism that has prevailed over structural bodywork.

-Don Thompson (U.K)

A while ago I ordered your deep tissue series on the internet before they even came out. I watched them all and read the book and I found them absolutely wonderful and a MUST for all bodyworkers.

-Alex

I just got your book in the mail today and I want to thank you very much
for this great gift. I have been hearing about this book for quite a while
and it was a long overdue addition to my library. You have done a great job
with this book and it is certain to become a popular and valued reference.
I will be delighted to recommend it to others!
Best wishes and keep up the great work--

-Whitney Lowe

I am only on the third disc of your video "Deep Tissue Techniques" but
already I'm so impressed I wanted to let you know.
My training is primarily in Structural Integration, NMT and myofascial work.
I have 30 years of training and experience in the field. Your video is the
best I've seen and I'm comparing it with a huge library of videos, audio
tapes and books at my office.
Thank you for the time and effort it took to complete this video and book.
It's a wonderful gift to other bodyworkers.

-Carol E (Minnesota)

Today I watched your disk for the first time and I am
truly amazed with the quality of your work!!!
Thank you and all the best to you.

-Nama R.

Mr. Riggs: I just have to tell you that I am amazed by your tapes. I wish I was studying under you instead of where I am!!! I don't know "how" I found you......but I'm just thankful I did!! These tapes are ones I will always be able to look back on and refresh myself. :O) Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!

-Sue H.

I recently purchased your 7 DVD series. To say the least, I am blown away by both the quality and quantity of information presented.

- Dan D.

 

Just to let you know, six weeks after the workshop in Ireland, that this workshop has really changed the way I go about my work. It's been absolutely fantastic -
this is how I want to practice massage. I've been uncurling bent shoulders, rolling some people onto their sides, fishing for first ribs, and hitting the scalenes. It was a priviledge to study with you. You've really had a lasting effect.

-Maria W. (Ireland)

Thank you so much. I am so amazed at his tapes...I mean.......he's BETTER THAN MY INSTRUCTOR AT THE COLLEGE!!! And he uses all the same books. It was the best money I have ever spent!!!!

-S. L. (California)

Here in Italy it is not very known the technique of the deep massage, perhaps also in all Europa, for this motive I am very happy to have purchased your product.
I work a lot with patient post trauma (orthopedics) and I am able to appreciate particularly way the utility of the deep massage.

-A. M. (Italy)

Amazon.com Customer Feedback:

I can't imagine any serious massage practitioner that would not benefit greatly from this series. It is absolutely full of not only specific techniques to expand my skills, but also demonstrates the subtleties of touch and theory that actually qualitatively change the way that I work. I've been a therapist for over ten years, and my regular clients immediately noticed the improvement in my work-not just some new strokes but a whole new way of working. For 11 hours of serious instruction that I will review many times, I think this is some of the best money I've ever invested on bodywork education.

-Judy S. (New York)

Do not hesitate to purchase this video/DVD set! It is well worth the money and I find myself referring back to it again and again. The instruction is easy to follow and professionally produced with good camera angles and good sound quality. Best of all, the material presented is thorough and extremely useful. After viewing (and re-viewing) the set, I felt as though I had spent days attending in-person training sessions with the added benefit of being able to go back and review at any time. Art has an excellent teaching style and it is obvious that he has a passion for his work which comes through in the videos. I had to think twice about making the investment, but I'm sure glad I did!

-Nanci S. (Minnesota)

This is a great DVD set, because not only it is a great source for the beginning massage student in massage school, it is also a great reference for years to come in massage practice. The techniques are given in a easy matter to understand.

-No Name Given

I am a licensed massage therapist and I purchased Art Riggsí "Deep Tissue Massage" manual about a year ago and loved it, but really needed to see what was being explained in the book. I had very high hopes for the DVD's and was not disappointed, rather the opposite, they exceed my expectations. Mr. Riggs is an enjoyable instructor to watch, as well as extremely skilled and knowledgeable. It is apparent his goal is to help massage therapists become well-informed and successful practitioners. Cultivating touch, anatomy review, biomechanics, and working with injuries - together with hours of excellent demonstrations of applied techniques, you can't go wrong with this set. These videos move at a very comfortable pace, each building upon the next. The DVD format is ideal for easy reference. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and highly recommend this set to recent graduates of massage therapy programs as well as long-time practicing massage therapists.

-Hope Z. (Wisconsin)

I am a certified massage practitioner for Swedish/Esalen Massage. But I have always been interested in deep tissue massage. I first purchased Art Riggs' Deep Tissue Massage manual, and was thoroughly enthralled with it's excellence. So I eagerly awaited his release of the videos. For certain, the book pales in comparison to the videos. For half the amount of money I would have spent on an advanced deep tissue class, I now have his videos that I can watch innumerable times. Seeing Art doing the bodywork "live" is like having a never-ending massage course that I can attend over and over, in the convenience of my own studio. Art Riggs' instruction and demonstration is of the highest quality. He is extremely enjoyable to watch and listen to. The close-up camera shots make it very easy to see even subtle moves. I highly recommend these videos for those like myself who are new to the massage business, all the way up to those who have been in the business for decades like Art. I have received totally enthusiastic responses from my clients for the moves I have been putting into practice. Although I do not own a DVD player, these videos are also available in that format, which makes it very easy to follow the manual that is included to find exactly the part of the body you wish to view.
