After reading Self-Massage for Athletes, by Richard E. Poley, and trying many of the suggested massages, I found the book opened my eyes to the importance and benefits of simple and effective five-minute massages.

Every Good Workout Deserves a Massage

“Every active person needs a massage. But most of us don’t get one until it’s too late, until we’re injured or when our body is screaming for help. Self-Massage for Athletes can help.” –Rocky Mountain Sports

“Self-Massage for Athletes is 20 chapters full of empowering information on applying self-massage to keep yourself feeling good. Chapters are short and the reading is interesting and enjoyable. Techniques are clearly explained and I found them easy to apply to one’s self. The black and white pictures fully illustrate the techniques and add beauty to the lessons.”–Deb Fries of Bike Culture Magazine
