MASSAGE / BODYWORK"Only a true master of Thai massage could present
this profound healing art with such clarity and precision, and make
it so accessible." Swami Ramananda, president of the Integral Yoga
Institute of New York "Necessary reading for anyone interested in
this indigenous healing art and its contemporary practice. Kam Thye
Chow is a sensei of the art and spirit of his work." Robert
Calvert, founder of Massage Magazine and author of The History of
Massage "A supremely accessible teacher, Kam Thye is masterful with
detail and nuance in the development and transmission of this
ancient practice."Stephen Cope, author of Yoga and the Quest for
the True Self In the temples of Thailand many centuries ago, a
dynamic bodywork therapy based on yoga, ayurveda, and the martial
arts was born. In this unique healing system of Thai Yoga Massage,
the practitioner guides the recipient through a series of yoga
postures while palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines
and pressure points. Together these actions result in a treatment
that relieves muscular tension, improves circulation, boosts the
immune system, and balances the body energetically. Thai Yoga
Massage is practiced as a duet. Counterbalancing and levering the
recipient's body with his own, the practitioner works with gravity,
breath, and directed touch to create a harmonious and therapeutic
"dance" with the recipient that imparts physical vibrancy, grace,
and spiritual energy. In this fully illustrated guide to Thai Yoga
Massage, Kam Thye Chow leads readers through every aspect of this
ancient bodywork therapy using more than 125 detailed, step-by-step
photographs. He also includes additional information on
importantcontraindications and fundamental anatomy and physiology
that integrates Western medical knowledge and theory with this
ancient healing tradition. In the accompanying DVD Kam Thye
presents techniques for performing a one-hour massage,
demonstrating effective body mechanics and methods for moving with
a gentle steady flow in real time, as a complement to the points
discussed in the text. With this text and DVD set, massage
therapists, physical therapists, yoga practitioners, and others in
the somatic arts will find Thai Yoga Massage an important and
innovative complement to their work. KAM THYE CHOW is one of the
world's foremost practitioners and has taught massage in Thailand
and throughout Europe and North America. He is the author of Tai
Chi Chuan: Mindfulness in Motion and his writings also have been
featured in Massage Magazine, Bodywork, and other healing arts
journals. He is the founder and director of the Lotus Palm Schoolin
Montreal.
