In this step-by-step guide to the art of Thai Foot Massage, the author Simon Piers Gall brings together many years of training in this field. The result is a book that will enable you to perform a Thai Foot Massage as traditionally taught in Thailand. The practical sections of the book are clearly divided into the different sections of the massage, and uses colour photos and graphics alongside clear explanations to enable you to perform the techniques with confidence. There is discussion of the history and development of Thai Foot Massage as well as theory on the reflex points of the feet, and the Thai concept of Sen (energy) lines that flow throughout the body, to help you understand how this ancient healing art works.
Thai Foot Massage not only feels great, it also promotes good health. It does not claim to cure any disease or illness, but it may just stop any from occurring.
Thai Foot Massage is something that anyone can learn, and with practice will become an art form that many will appreciate.
This is an essential book for anyone interested in traditional massage techniques. Practicing therapists and reflexologists will gain a variety of new techniques, along with a whole new massage, and unqualified enthusiasts will be able to offer something special to friends and family.
As the first book in the English language on Thai Foot Massage the author has made great efforts to make it a lasting contribution to the subject. Rather than sticking to the syllabus of any one particular school in Thailand, Simon Piers Gall has brought together his training from all of the major schools in Thailand and with his vast experience of Traditional Thai Medicine to offer a complete book encompassing all the techniques taught throughout Thailand.
