Excellent resource: 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.
this is exactly what i wanted: just like what i said this was what i wanted after watching so manny thai massage video i could get easily lost but with this book i can quickly go back and find confusing technics. you see i'm not really into thai massage however once in a blue moon, clients ask me to do thai massage just to see how it is, in this case this book is very handy.
