Thai Massage: A Traditional Medical Technique

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.
