Thai Yoga Massage

Description

A comprehensive book and DVD guide packed with black & white photos and drawings. 149 pages plus DVD. - By Kam Thyne Chow (2004)

In the temples of Thailand many centuries ago, a dynamic bodywork therapy based on yoga, ayurveda, and the martial arts was born.

In this unique system of Thai Yoga Massage, the practitioner guides the recipient through a series of yoga postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines and pressure points.

Together these actions result in a treatment that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the immune system, and balances the body energetically.

Thai Yoga Massage is practiced as a duet. Counterbalancing and levering the recipient's body with his own. The practitioner works with gravity, breath, and directed touch to create a harmonious and therapeutic "dance" with the recipient that imparts physical vibrancy, grace, and spiritual energy.

In this fully illustrated guide to Thai Yoga Massage, Kam Thye Chow leads readers through every aspect of this ancient bodywork therapy using more than 125 detailed, step-by-step photographs.

He also includes information on important contra-indications and fundamental anatomy and physiology that integrates Western medical knowledge and theory with this ancient healing tradition.

In the accompanying DVD Kam Thye presents techniques for performing a one-hour massage, demonstrating effective body mechanics and methods for moving with a gentle steady flow in real time, as a complement to the points discussed in the text.

With this text and DVD set, massage therapists, physical therapists, yoga practitioners, and others in the somatic arts will find 'Thai Yoga Massage' an important and innovative complement to their work.
