massage1massage2

There are several scam massage DVDs sold in Amazon.com

Those Videos are of low quality, with little educational value. It has been around for more than 5 years and claimed to be #1 Best Selling series and Endorsed by American Sports Conditioning Association, and Recommedned by Indiana College of Oriental Medicine. Both of these association and college don’t exist.

Amazon is part of the scam from this company that produces massage videos (website: http://mymassagevideo.com/)

I have written several bad reviews on these videos, and they always got deleted by Amazon.com. Amazon only shows excellent reviews which are no doubt made up by their own people.
