3.0 out of 5 stars Another fine book, December 23, 2004
This review is from: Thai Massage: Knowing Where and How to Touch (Quality of Life (Ideals)) (Paperback)
I have been studying this ancient modality for 10 years and lately it seems that every day there is a new book or video on Thai Massage. While there are some differences in style and posture when it comes to Thai Massage, I've found that the old Thai saying, "same same, but different" applies here. That being said, Ms. Avraham has a wonderful approach to Thai Massage. I particularly enjoy the descriptions and the chapters that lead up to the technique portion of the book. She has a great section on contraindications, the Sen Lines, and on practitioner body mechanices. When you get into the Technique/Routine portion of the book, the descriptions are well written, the pictures are in black and white, and show postures from the simplest perspective, but overall will not "dazzle" the reader. This is a great book to have in your collection, but it's not the only book you should refer to for Thai Massage information - and, most importantly, no one should assume that they can learn this technique from a book or a video.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book to learn and practise Tai Massage by yourself, August 2, 2008
This review is from: Thai Massage: Knowing Where and How to Touch (Quality of Life (Ideals)) (Paperback)
As a Chinese doctor, I know 2 most popular massage in Asia: Chinese and Tai Massage. It's not easy to learn all meridian points (several hundreds in all) for good results in Chinese therapeutical massage. Just following the book, you may learn and practise Thai Massage. It seems easier for most people.

This review is from: Thai Massage: Knowing Where and How to Touch (Quality of Life (Ideals)) (Paperback)
As a Holistic Practitioner I found this book is very pratical, the exercises and guidance in this book are easy to follow, reading the book almost like attending a real live workshop. I like the "Do-It-Yourself" exercise program, I'll recommend this book to my clients.
