Massage books to read while waiting to start school?

My suggestion is in the same vein. Pick up "Save Your Hands!". A new edition just came out, and it looks to be much more informative than the first. I ended up with quite a bit of pain caused by bad body mechanics at the end of my first semester and had wished I had understood the importance of it earlier on.

There have been many threads on the importance of good body mechanics. The general consensus on a recent thread is that Save Your Hands is better than nothing, but that there are much better texts and classes on this topic. I highly recommend Darien Pritchard's Dynamic Bodyuse for Effective, Strain-Free Massage as a vastly superior alternative.

Thanks for all of the added posts! I have time on my hands until school starts, so I'm going to start researching these.

All the best!
