With its calming atmosphere, easy-to-follow demonstrations, and gentle narration, the video provides an accessible and engaging way for both beginners and professionals to learn the fundamentals of relaxation massage. Decades later, Massage for Relaxation remains a valuable resource, showcasing the timeless benefits of massage therapy and holistic wellness.

This classic video has become an indispensable resource for both aspiring massage therapists and individuals keen on enhancing their relaxation skills.

Self-Massage Techniques

Within this sensuous and tasteful presentation, Cleo imparts timeless techniques for self-massage and massaging others. Viewers will acquire the knowledge to harness their own healing touch for alleviating neck, shoulder, and back discomfort, indulging in self-care for the arms, legs, hands, and feet, identifying ‘trigger points’ for deeper massages, addressing cellulite, relieving headaches, and administering facial massages to both oneself and others.

Glowing Salt Rub

Cleo also discloses the secret behind the Glowing Salt Rub, a technique that rejuvenates and softens the skin. This transformative experience aids in stress reduction, promotes relaxation of the body, mind, and spirit, and unlocks the healing potential of touch.

What sets Massage for Relaxation apart is its calming atmosphere and educational clarity. Mooney, an early pioneer in video production, ensured that every shot was framed with precision and warmth on all three studio cameras, creating a viewing experience that is both instructive and meditative. The production is carefully designed to demystify massage techniques, making it approachable for couples, individuals seeking self-care, and even professional massage therapists looking for a structured guide.

The video’s impact extends beyond just education—it helps introduce the benefits of massage therapy to a wider audience, paving the way for future instructional wellness videos. Over the years, Massage for Relaxation has found its way into homes, spas, and massage schools, proving that Mooney’s innovative approach to video instruction was ahead of its time. Today, as interest in holistic wellness and self-care continues to grow, Massage for Relaxation remains a pioneering piece of video history, solidifying its place as one of New & Unique Videos’ earliest and most influential productions.

Recognized as an award-winning original masterpiece, this video is truly a coveted addition to any collector’s library. Prepare to astonish yourself with the gratification that Massage for Relaxation can offer, both to you and those you choose to share it with.
