“So is this a book worth considering? I would have to say yes, it is a bit like the classic Stretching by Bob Anderson.”
–Kevin Mansell of SeaPaddler.com on-line magazine

“Rich Poley, the author of this new book,Self-Massage for Athletes, helps make massage accessible to everyone by providing the simple techniques and tools necessary to effectively practice self-massage. Whether you're new to massage or are a registered therapist, this book will serve as an awakening.” –Steve Brown of Philly FIT magazine

"Since most runners will face injury or muscle soreness at some point in their careers, the information presented in this book is ideal for any runner regardless of their competitive background.” –Elaine Binkley of RUN OHIO magazine

“Before I had the good fortune to read this book, I thought the only type of therapeutic massage possible was that provided by a professional massage therapist. As an avid runner, swimmer and cyclist, I frequently experience muscle stiffness, tension knots, cramps and kinks. With professional massage therapy sessions being so costly, I just lived with the aches and pains between massage appointments. After reading “Self-Massage for Athletes” my eyes have been opened to a new possibility. I can massage myself…for free!” –Asti Tomsic of Athletes HI on-line magazine

“A professional massage therapist can't be present every time a muscle tightens up during a workout or competition, or after every hard day on the trails. One solution may be self-massage.” –Cross Country Skier

“Self-Massage for Athletes is 20 chapters full of empowering information on applying self-massage to keep yourself feeling good.”–Deb Fries of Bike Culture

Self-Massage for Athletes offers a complete and thoroughly 'user friendly' how-to guide to the art and benefits of massage for active people engaged in sports and exercise.” –Midwest Book Review
