Description

A richly illustrated book interlinking the Thai traditional medicine with the practice of massage therapy in a practical step-by-step manual for those who wish to learn the technique. -By R. Gold. (1998)

This richly illustrated book presents, for the first time in English, a detailed and practical introduction to traditional Thai medical massage.

It begins with a discussion of the theories of Thai medicine and how they have been influenced by Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.

Clear and easy-to-follow descriptions are given of all the varied techniques involved, techniques which can be used alone, in conjunction with other forms of massage, or to facilitate yoga and other meditation practices.

The information given is:

- Practical: basic explanations are given of how massage therapists can use elements of these techniques and apply them immediately to their own practice.

- Visual: all techniques are shown in photographs and drawings, with arrows to indicate direction of movement.

- Safe: contradications and precautions are highlighted.

- Clinically valuable: whether applying all the methods or starting with stretches alone, therapists can enrich their own practice.

This unique book will be of interest and practical use to all bodyworkers, especially massage and manual therapists, and practitioners and students of any branch of oriental medicine.
