Hope they're good. His book has been a real revelation. Absolutely great. If the DVD's are as good as the book I'll be very pleased. I've been applying some of the techniques from the book and they are brilliant!!

Oh well. Off to set up for the next client!!!

Cheers

His book and DVD's are good. He does sometimes come to England to teach some courses but I've never had enough money to do them.

Hi Kevin

Do you mind if I ask where you bought them and how much they were? I'm sorely tempted to make the investment myself, but I'd much prefer to pay the lowest price available (always a bargain hunter!! LOL).

In the meantime, please report back when you watch them. It would be good to hear your feedback.

Thanks!

Hi Kitten,

You can get it here: http://www.deeptissuemassagemanual.com/

There are no UK distributors.

It's 255 us dollars including postage.

I'll post back once it arrives.

Cheers

Kevin

Hi Kevin

I bought these DVDs a few yrs. ago from Ultimate Massage Solutions and have never regretted it. Dont know if they were best value, but the content is wonderful and you will use them over and over. I also have the book which is also great. Would love to have some tuition from this guy as he truly knows his stuff and cares about the therapist as well.

Oh I want them so much. I'm going to order them used from Amazon for about $210. I'm going to America next month so I'll get them delivered to where I'm staying.

you may find that you have to pay export tax on top of what you have already paid.

I've ordered a few things from the US and each time I have to go to the post office sorting office and pay an additional £15 to collect it.

Well, I finally got the dvd's. They are fantastic. I'm really pleased. The sound track is annoying though, lots of noise and clicks and distortion. He's a hell of a tutor though!!

Do American DVDs work on UK players? I thought they were different but I don't know much about that sort of stuff. Would love to order the DVDs but can't afford to waste money if they may not work. Would appreciate any info on this. Thanks.

The DVD's play. It's just that the sound track has horrible clicks and pops on it. They are watchable, but it is annoying. These DVD's are not region specific.

Hi Kevin

Thanks for letting us know how you got on with the DVDs. I ended up ordering a set for myself a couple of days ago.

Did you get charged any customs duty and/or VAT? If so, how much? It's one thing that I'm a wee bit worried about now (I suppose I should have checked with Customs and Excise before ordering, but I was just too impatient! LOL).

I'm a bit concerned about your comments about the sound track. You would think that a set of DVDs as (hugely) expensive as these would be really professionally done. Do you think you maybe just have a slightly faulty copy? Or is this the way they all are in your opinion?

I suppose when it comes down to it I won't care about the sound, just as long as Art is as good as the reviews say he is!! LOL!

I can't wait to get practising the techniques!

Hi Kitten, don't worry. I've been watching some more. I don't know what level you are trained to, but I reckon you'd have to be a massage guru yourself to not get a great deal of benefit, from these dvd's.

His demonstrations are clear and concise, his explanations excellent. He quite often points out the dangers and important factors to consider in the techniques.

I think you'll love it. My parcel spent 4 days in customs. It'll take the best part of 10 days to arrive. The cost, 8 quid vat 8 quid to parcel force.

I've mailed him about the sound and he is eager to resolve it.

Going to practice on my wife tonight. After that, I might ask if she wants a massage!!

Cheers
