Reviews

"I am happy that this system of Traditional Thai Massage developed by my father is in the hands of the new generation, and is being carried forward in the West."
*Ajahn Dr. Wasan Chaichakan Traditional Thai Medicine Doctor*

Bridging the gap between the theory and practice of Thai massage, The Encyclopaedia of Thai Massage explores the history, spiritual traditional and ethical codes of Thai medicine, alongside a detailed analysis of Thai massage therapy. The book uses full colour photographs and diagrams to illustrate the variety of techniques, as well as examples of routines for treating specific disorders. This second edition is updated with a new layout, photos and expanded text, providing an exhaustive handbook, complete with a section on the main energy meridians and acupressure points, making it the perfect tool to accompany anyone studying this modality.
