ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Thai Massage is the touch that enhances health, happiness, and wholeness--and with more than 150 expertly demonstrated sequences unfolding on these pages, everyone can enjoy its benefits.
Sometimes called "yoga in action," Thai massage has worked its relaxing wonders for more than 1,000 years. Explore its secrets with a detailed program that includes ten complete lessons, each concentrating on a particular part of the body. Like other forms of massage, it employs a flowing sequence of stretches, but instead of using only your fingers, pressure is applied with the thumbs, palms, elbows, knees, and feet. Full-color photographs of every move match still shots with superimposed artwork that indicate the direction of the movements. Each technique is clearly explained and its benefits--from improved flexibility to increased vitality--detailed.
"All of the techniques are shown in sharp color photographs that are pleasing to the eye. Descriptions of the techniques are clear."--Massage Therapy Journal.

"This is a wonderful Thai massage reference book. The pictures are easy to follow, the text is understandable and includes precautions, healing benefits and muscles stretched and pressed for each asana. There are pictures of men and women with sen lines imposed on a skeletal layout - it seems to make it particularly understandable in locating the sen lines on the body. There is a section on muscles - including diagrams and a chart listing the attachments, action and key thai manipulations acting on the muscle, and which lessons address the muscle. For my particular learning style this is a wonderful book and has been very helpful to me. I think that this is an excellent book for beginners and experienced therapists as well.
There is also a chapter of massage routines to ease specific chronic pain and a program for beginners to follow.
Ms. Mercati has solid training in Thai massage as well as Chinese Tui Na Massage and accupuncture. I received my initial training in Traditional Thai Medical Massage from students of Dr. James. It was a wonderful introduction to Thai Massage and as I further my education I know that it provided a solid foundation on which to build.
