Excellent course! The warm up/stretching program included with the kata is invaluable for maintaining healthy joints, strength and balance. David Palmer is a master teacher!!! All body workers need to learn this efficient method of bodywork. A must for maintaining a life time practice of skilled touch. Thank you! Thank you!

The video and written materials were exceptionally well coordinated and detailed. I found the stress on proper body mechanics very beneficial for proper execution of the techniques. I also liked the way the information was presented in different ways. First it was broken down into very detailed descriptions of all movements and then faster sequences that were readily adaptable to a fifteen minute routine. Information on a shorter routine was also included.

This was a great way to study this course. It was highly informative and presented well. I particularly liked the ability to repeat (and repeat and repeat) the different segments.

I enjoyed this clear and well written course. The video and audio were excellent in showing you the techniques and gave you valuable hints on body mechanics. I would recommend it highly to anyone interested in chair massage.

Although I have been performing chair massage since my licensure (1996)- I thought this course would be a nice 'Refresher' and also offer some new ideas and techniques to implement into my chair massage routine- I was NOT disappointed. As usual, your courses are always clear, concise, educational, presented very well and very informative. Thank you.
