Book Description

30 April 2004
Drawing from Thai history cultural studies Buddhist religion and yogic practices as well as a modern understanding of anatomy and physiology this book finally bridges the gap between the theory and practice of Thai massage. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THAI MASSAGE is unique in that it presents this form of bodywork as it is understood in Thailand as a therapeutic medical science. For the first time the history spiritual traditions and ethical codes of Thai medicine are presented in full alongside the most detailed analysis of each particular step in the Thai massage routine. Examples of therapeutic routines to treat specific disorders are discussed and a complete section is dedicated to the main energy meridians and diagrams of acupressure points. The book is written in an engaging informal style with numerous photographs and diagrams illustrating the techniques used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thai Massage 11 Aug 2009
By Tina B
Format:Paperback
I have recently been to Thailand to study Thai Massage and bought this book before I went. It is easy to follow which takes you through the history of Thai Massage before illustrating the moves, it is fully supported by colour photographs for every step.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great handbook 24 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed this book immensely. It reinforced all the learning I undertook several years ago in Thailand and takes Thai Massage seriously. Very informative and easy to read. Never try to learn Thai Massage from a book but certainly supplement your learning with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes Thai Massage understandable 2 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback
I have not found another book on the subject of Thai massage and doubt I would bother to look for one now. The instructions are clear and the images show you exactly how to massage.
