Table Lessons is a book of narratives that contain insight into the mastery of massage therapy. Each short story represents a problem solving strategy or the embodiment of a physiologic principle that affects the practice of soft-tissue therapy, specifically Precision Neuromuscular Therapy. Stories embody knowledge in a way that simple facts cannot; they give context and meaning to help the reader apply these lessons in his/her own practice. In these clinical narratives, the reader is guided through the clinical decision-making process of soft-tissue therapy. Not just a book of clinical success stories, this book contains numerous stories of struggle, difficult lessons learned, and the art of clinical reasoning. The reader will learn strategies and reasoning processes that can be applied to soft-tissue therapy or across any discipline where critical thinking and reflective practice is vital. The book is divided into four sections: Strategy, Learning Through Failure, Differential Assessment, and Communication.
Distilled from the experience of 3,000 massages received in 20 countries, this humorous, sexy, and informative book describes a Sandwich Massage in Thailand, undieless massages in Vietnam and Thailand, a Russian Tantric and Nude Finnish massage in New York City, and the Zen of balls and masculine maintenance. Given that a single massage in New York City costs around seventy dollars, this book is a bargain, one that also contains a chapter offering specific advice. Besides the entire text of his two major books, "The Uncensored Massage: Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China," and "The Uncensored Massage: From Massage to Sex America and Elsewhere," this special edition contains two additional chapters: "Al Gore and the Dilemma of the Ideal Western Male" and "A Wish List for Better Massages." In parts, this book can be reread for the sheer pleasure of its humor and language (occasionally racy), and makes an ideal gift to an open-minded friend. This book contains adult language and is meant for non-pc readers with a sense of humor.

Massages can often change into the unexpectedly and wildly sexual, especially in East Asia, as the author discovers in this humorously erotic and "undercover" investigation of the massage scene in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and China, with brief excursions into Cambodia and India. In one chapter, the book gives a detailed, soap-and-semen-drenched description of a hilarious and more than mindblowing Sandwich Massage in Thailand. Then it moves on to Indonesia, where hot women full of the joy of life defy the rules and seek joyous sex with their customers. And then to Vietnam where, Behind the No Hanky-Panky Door, a Western man keeps getting asked by a young, skimpily clad, sex-bomb masseuse if he wants his "baby" massaged: and is given a generous number of free samples, just in case he is slow to understand her offer. And in China, the masseuse keeps exclaiming, "Oh You Oh You "--a mystery that takes half an hour to solve. Indian masseuses offer a friendly handshake to their surprised customers, and a Cambodian masseuse plays an amazing game . . . For a more general discussion (with specific and often funny and erotic examples) of massage issues and the deep connection between massage and sex, with commentary and examples from American massage and a handful of other countries, please read "The Uncensored Massage: Massage and Sex in America and Elsewhere" (there may be new and different edition of this book under a different title shortly) Content warning: Occasional adult language and situations. Meant for open-minded readers with a sense of humor (an absolute essential, as many of the statements are ironic). An appendix provides a brief and subjective consumer guide for heterosexual men. By the widely traveled author of 3 other books, and 12 books under a different name.

In Good Hands: A Guide to Seeking and Receiving Massage is written by an experienced massage therapist whose back problems led her to massage. Understanding and relief of her pain through massage inspired her to do the same for others. Since then Debra Ty has pursued a career giving and teaching massage in several arenas. She guides you, the newcomer or seasoned recipient through all phases of seeking and receiving massage, beginning with finding the best match for therapist and recipient, various types of massage; their benefits and cautions, the numerous environments in which massage is offered, how best to receive a massage by asking for what you need, how to give good feedback to assure your needs are met, relaxing into the support and trust of your therapist, post massage care, tipping, and how often to receive massage. Massage experiences and needs are as vast and variable as the body, mind, emotions, and soul; these experiences invite you to explore quiet and stillness, safety, trust, and intimacy. Massage can be used to relax and rid tension, or to be an active part of the process bringing awareness and understanding through massage--revelations of willing men and women who receive massage as a way to bring balance in their lives and find support for their stresses and ailments. Indeed, the insights you gain through massage need not stop in the massage room but can continue on as a lifestyle. May the words in this book guide you to peace within and peace in your world.
