Ok I have never written a review before but after having these dvd's for about a week now I HAD to say something! Hopefully if anyone is debating getting these please know that even though its a little pricey, it is WELL worth the money. I always heard great things about Art Riggs from instructors at my school, and I've read his deep tissue book which was really good also...but he really knows his stuff! Not only that, he's very good at explaining things in a way thats easy to understand and he covers so much information and gives so many tips its amazing.
BEST AND MOST EDUCATIONAL DVD I HAVE EVER SEEN ON DEEP TISSUE AND MYOFASCIAL RELEASE! Please get it, I guarantee you wont be dissapointed!

Review of Art Riggs' Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release DVD Series
Art Riggs' Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release DVD Series is uniquely designed as a full study clinical training course for new therapist training and continuing education in deep tissue myofascial techniques as well as for experienced therapists in myofascial release, bodywork, physical therapy, and clinical massage. The Deep Tissue series clearly demonstrates the subtleties of touch and theory. The instruction is easy to follow and professionally produced with a personable approach; good camera angles; professional lighting; a non-distracting background; a smooth and rhythmic flow; healthy, athletic models; and excellent sound quality. The material presented is thorough and extremely useful. The mindful quality of information and the clarity of progressions in treatment are incomparable. The extensive training series delves into the complex issues of soft tissue restrictions, osseous articulations and strategies for working with the multitude of different issues we face as therapists. It shows countless strokes and techniques while demonstrating the qualitative art of working with deep tissues to effect profound and meaningful change. Art's teaching series is extraordinarily impressive! It is essential for every massage school, professional massage therapist and bodyworker. It is challenging to imagine any serious massage therapist or bodyworker who would not benefit greatly from integrating information gained from viewing this series. Cultivating touch, anatomy review, biomechanics, and working with injuries, combined with hours of excellent demonstrations of applied techniques, create a product that is extraordinary on every level. I highly recommend this set to recent graduates of massage therapy programs as well as long-time practicing massage therapists. Every massage school should have a copy! Without a moment's hesitation, click on the "Add to Cart" button and purchase Art Riggs' Deep Tissue Massage and Myofascial Release DVD Series. Viewing and integrating the series in your practice will be time well spent. It will transform the way you think, feel and perceive while propelling you into new paradigms of consciousness.

Summary: You can't go wrong with this set
Rating: 5

I am an acupuncturist and don't have the best grasp of anatomy but I am learning . I use Zero Balancing , Shiatsu and Tui Na in my practice. These DVD's are much more advanced than that but also more rewarding . I watch just a little at at time often going to some technique for a client I am about to see. These are pretty boring to watch as I find most body work DVD's to be. I get sleepy real fast when I put one in .However if you can endure it is so worth it when you are in the treatment room with a client. Also when you compare the cost to a workshop these are quite a bargain.
Summary: English and German review: learn from one the best!

After purchasing Art Riggs book 'Deep Tissue Massage' (German edition: Tiefen-Gewebsmassage), I decided to order the DVD set as well, because there is nothing better than techniques actually seeing being performed after reading the book. For all massage therapists who cannot physically attend a seminar or workshop on deep tissue massage, this DVD set is definitely one of the best investments they can make. Fantastic material, outstanding teacher! It's a pity we don't have such great video material in German. And here is a further insider's tip for massage therapists who would like or already offer chair massage: the comprehensive DVD set 'Seated Therapeutic Massage' and the book 'Therapeutic Chair Massage' both by Ralph R. Stephens. Nachdem ich die deutsche Ausgabe des Buches 'Deep Tissue Massage' (Titel: Tiefen-Gewebsmassage) gekauft und gelesen hatte, bestellte ich nachträglich die DVDs direkt in U.S.A. Es gibt bekanntlich nichts besseres als 'live' dabei zu sein, auch wenn das Buch bereits eine Flle an Informationen bietet. Meine Empfehlung an alle Massage Therapeuten, die nicht persönlich an Seminare oder Workshops eines Experten wie Art Riggs teilnehmen können: bestellen Sie unbedingt diese Videos. Es ist mit Sicherheit eine der besten Investitionen in Ihrer Weiterbildung, die Sie je getätigt haben! Einziger Wermutstropfen: englisch sollte man schon beherrschen und beim Empfang der Ware, schlägt der Zoll erbarmungslos zu (Zoll und Einfuhrsteuer)! Hier ist noch ein weiterer Geheimtipp: die DVD Serie 'Seated Therapeutic Massage' und das Buch dazu 'Therapeutic Chair Massage' von Ralph R. Stephens (beides nur auf englisch).

Exceptional. I highly recommend both the book and DVD set to all massage therapists, especially those who are convinced they know all the tricks of the trades. I appreciate the emphasis on techniques for using good body mechanics that prevent fatigue and injury to the M.T.
