The Thai Massage Workbook

The Thai Massage Workbook

Kris Freeman
0/5 ( ratings)
A step-by-step guide to Traditional Massage of Thailand, this workbook takes a comprehensive approach to learning this 2500-year-old form of bodywork with detailed drawings of each move and thorough textual descriptions. Spiral-bound for easy reference, the book guides you through all the positions including supine, prone, side lying and seated. The Thai Massage Workbook covers a full three-hour routine as taught in Thailand. Done on a mat on the floor, Thai massage uses no oils or lotions, and the recipient remains fully clothed. Sometimes referred to as "yoga for lazy people," Thai massage employs extensive, gentle stretches, compressions and point work to achieve an increase in the flow of energy through the body. While after a traditional western-style massage on the table you may feel relaxed and rested, the effect of a Thai massage is by contrast quite invigorating. The theoretical basis for Traditional Thai Medicine is the existence of 72,000 energy lines, known as sen, that run throughout the body. Thai massage addresses the ten main sen. Even though you will learn stretches that increase the range of motion throughout all the joints, the actual goal of Thai massage is to facilitate the free flow of energy along the sen, awakening your life force and strengthening the body's own healing powers.
