Description
In A Myofascial Approach to Thai Massage, the author takes a radically different approach to Thai Massage by redefining the sen lines
in myofascial terms. He provides a coherent system illustrating the function and benefits of Thai Massage through its actions on the
myofascial network, lymph and blood flow. In addition, the author questions some of the more dubious moves in Thai Massage; looks at
the ?spiritual' aspects of Thai Massage in terms of presence, attention and the therapist/client relationship; takes a unique view of
Thai Massage and opens the way for further exploration of massage in the myofascial field; and includes some examples of working with
clients to illustrate the themes. Although specifically about Thai Massage, content covers many aspects of the therapist/patient relationship – well explored in psychotherapy but surprisingly little covered in massage courses.
