Book Reviews of The Thai Massage Workbook
Book Review: Honouring The Practice of Thai Massage
Summary: 5 Stars
In her book "The Thai Massage Workbook", Kay Rynerson maintains a supportive classroom context for the massage professional and this work is an ideal study for continuing education.
Here, is a well-defined articulation of a classic Northern style of Thai massage. This lineage was of the first to be embraced and studied in depth on foreign lands. North Americans have slowly come to recognize the precious art of Thai massage and now credit is earned where it is due. Rynerson shares the wisdom through her practice and her publishing.
The concepts outlined in "The Thai Massage Workbook" demonstrate safe and effective techniques to approach a wide variety of aches and pains, as well as to address the body from a preventative point of view. The impressionable names of each posture make them easy to remember and the clarity in the illustrations make them easy to follow visually.
Though, much of this medicine is new to the Western forum of practice, the benefits strike a chord of truth. With simplicity, Thai massage gains momentum in the hearts of all those who are open with a willing mind.

Summary of The Thai Massage Workbook
The Thai Massage Workbook, second edition, provides a step-by-step guide for the trained massage professional to Traditional Massage of Thailand. This ancient form of bodywork is done on a mat on the floor, with the recipient fully clothed, using no oils or lotions. Sometimes referred to as "passive yoga," Thai massage involves the practitioner taking the recipient through many yoga-like stretches, as well as point work and compressions. The thorough and detailed text, in bullet format, is accompanied by clear line drawings that outline a three-hour Thai massage routine.Subjects Books
