  Traditional Thai Massage is the manual medicine branch of 2500 years of Traditional Thai medicine. It combines elements of yoga, shiatsu and acupressure, working with the energy pathways of the body and the therapy points thought to be located along these lines. This book takes a practical approach to showing and describing individual techniques, particularly those involving stretching, and takes the reader step-by-step through each technique, as well as its contraindications and precautions.
