5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Gold captures the essence of Thai Massage, November 18, 1999
This review is from: Thai Massage : A Traditional Medical Technique (Paperback)
Dr. Gold, in his book on traditional Thai Massage, has given the massage community hands-on guidance in the use of Thai Massage. This is more than a step-by-step workbook on Thai Massage. Yes, it has clear and rich photography and esay-to-follow instructions. It also includes the theory of Thai medicine, indications and contraindications, and a discussion of the sen (energy pathway). This book should be required reading for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of Thai Massage.

5.0 out of 5 stars authentic & clear, May 19, 2000
This review is from: Thai Massage : A Traditional Medical Technique (Paperback)
This is one of the best books on massage that I have ever seen. I have been to Thailand and experienced traditional Thai massage. This book is an authentic presentation of this wonderful form of traditional body therapy. I especially appreciated the sections on history, theory and Buddhist influences on traditional Thai medicine. An aspect of this book that I have found to be particularly beneficial are the directional arrows that are present on each of the excellent black and white photographs. The instructions are clear and make even complicated procedures seem accessible.

This review is from: Thai Massage: A Traditional Medical Technique (Mosby's Massage Career Development) (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by my thai massage teacher. It is very helpful and the DVD is one that you can watch on your TV instead of sitting at a computer. I worked on someone while watching this in my living room....great. I would highly recommend this book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Richard Gold is AMAZING!! (and so is this book....), April 13, 2008
This review is from: Thai Massage: A Traditional Medical Technique (Mosby's Massage Career Development) (Paperback)
I have had the privilege of studying under Rick Gold in several subjects at the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB) in San Diego, California. I can tell you without a doubt that this book is an excellent guide and a great source of his incredible wisdom, passion and extraordinary depth of knowledge about Thai massage. Sawasdee!
