Summary: A great book for fixing common ailments!
Comment: After you read through this book and put some of its techniques into practice, you will wonder how you ever got along without it. Covering a wide range of common ailments, it describes each point and its uses, and gives good instructions on finding them both from diagrams and lots of photos. Even if you're sceptical, buy this book!

Summary: Pain Gone!
Comment: I have been bothered with a shoulder pain for over a month. I received this book a few days ago, applied pressure to the point identified in the book for my problem, and WHEW! the pain left almost immediately. It's GONE!! I'm working on a sciatica nerve now.
I told a friend and she said "Get that book for me for Christmas!" So now I am ordering four more books to give to relatives and friends. They will love it.
Illustrations and photos are very good, as are all the instructions. I hadn't realized various points have interesting names!! Acupressure has been around for a long, long time.

Summary: best book on acupressure massage I've found
Comment: I've been somewhat heavily interested and researching about acupressure massage and other bodywork therapies for the past coupe of years and this has been the best book on the practical applications of acupressure for self help purposes I've seen. I've effectively used this book to relieve common ailments such as headaches, eye fatigue, neck stiffness/soreness, shoulder pain, upper and lower bach aches, knee pains, etc... I myself being relatively young and in good health have no serious or chornic illnesses or pain. But I do practise a variety of sport like basketball, gymnastics, and martial arts and have often suffered from soreness and injuries. And this works and definetly helps...but you shouldn't accept a complete gaurantee that this will cure your problems, but it could help. I recommend for sceptics that you try to get this book from the library first, or give it a quick read at a local bookstore. Go through a section that you have problems/pain in and try them out at home. If you like it, buy the book. It can be a great reference and help for everyone.

Also, I would like to comment on the review "snakeoil". I have been doing research about Michael Reed Gach and other acupressure instructors/practitioners and the show called movement, and I do relize the scepticism because there are a lot of sham newage quacks out there preacher cures and other bogus message. But acupressure is effective and can work. Many acupoints are small and cannot be effectively used with just the fingers, but most of the basic/major ones can be. Just look at Japanese Shiatsu massage or Chinese Tunia massage. They both use acupoint/acupressure, and most Acupuncturist teach acupressure to their patients to be used between acupuncture sessions. If you actually read and practise some of the instructions in the book, you may have found that they do help relive pain and help with relaxation. The main thing you have to realize is that acupressure is in no way a substitute for medical care from a qualified medical doctor. But it can help.
