Thai Massage is relatively new to modern spas, but it was actually developed by Buddhist monks in Thailand as a healing modality 2,500 years ago. Thai massage uses passive stretching and gentle pressure along the body?s energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle and joint tension and balance the body?s energy systems. Thai massage is both deeply relaxing and energizing.

This book is an excellent introduction to Thai massage, and with its companion Part II (Thai Traditional Massage for Advanced Practitioners) includes clear instructions and excellent BW photographs of various techniques. East meets West in methodical thinking and presentation. Asokananda is the acquired name of Harald Brust, a German, who runs a massage school in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Although I attended a massage school in Chiang Mai that was not his, this book includes all the general basics of northern Thai massage, theory, philosophy and practice. (Asokananda's books are published by DK Books in Chiang Mai, Editions Duang Kamol)
