Deepening Your Thai Massage: An East West Approach to Thai Bodywork - Hardcover

by Tirza Bottema (Author)

Deepening Your Thai Massage - An East-West Approach to Thai Bodywork is a comprehensive guide for massage therapists, bodyworkers, and holistic practitioners who wish to deepen their knowledge of Thai massage and explore its integration with Western anatomy and fascia science.

Rooted in the ancient practice of Nuad Boran (traditional Thai massage), this book explores the Sen Sip energy lines, Thai acupressure, and the healing principles of Thai yoga massage. It also connects these traditions with modern insights into myofascial lines, fascia release, muscle cooperation and breath awareness.

Step by step, readers are guided through nine pathways that enrich both practice and understanding: from working with touch therapy and the body-mind connection to using restorative bodywork for relaxation and trauma release.Whether you are new to Thai massage or an experienced practitioner, this book offers inspiration, clear instruction, and a fresh East-West integration of energy and healing practices. Richly illustrated with photos and supported by video demonstrations, it is both a tribute to Thai healing traditions and a practical manual for today's bodyworkers.
