Excellent, well written book

The simple yet clear presentations in Beatrice Avraham's book, "Thai Massage", are a great inspiration to anyone who desires to learn more about maintaining good health or gaining relief from problems or ailments in a natural way. The entire book is very logically sequenced and well written. Beginning with the introduction which takes the reader on an exciting tour from the origins of Thai Massage through various aspects of theoretical and practical knowledge, all superbly illustrated with clear diagrams of meridians and pressure points, the book continues in a logical and concise journey which even an uninitiated reader can follow easily. The next two major parts of Beatrice's book, "Thai Massage" -- the more than 100 Massage Exercises, and the Do It Yourself section that follows -- are excellently written with brief clear descriptions accompanied by have large photos which show with great clarity how the procedures are done both by a practitioner, and on oneself. Excellent both for those who like to know what they can expect if they go to a practitioner and for those who enjoy experimenting with good techniques for helping themselves. Thai Massage by Beatrice Avraham is the best book on massage technique I have ever read and is a must-have for anyone who is interested in taking responsibility for their own health, and also an excellent gift for all occasions and all ages.

VERY GOOD BOOK

THIS IS A VERY INFORMATIVE AND PRACTICAL BOOK WITH PICTURES CLARIFYING AND GUIDING THE READER INTO THE FIELD OF THAI MASSAGE. THE AUTHOR, BEATRICE AVRAHAM, DEMONSTRATES THE TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING THE THAI MASSAGE WITH CLARITY AND PRECISION. I FOUND VERY HELPFUL THE 'DO-IT-YOURSELF' PART OF THE BOOK AND I RECOMMEND IT AS AN INVALUABLE TOOL FOR THOSE LOOKING ON WAYS TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC HEALING NEEDS.

Great book

This is by far the best book on Thai Massage that exists out there. The author is clearly well versed in the material. She is able to explain the postures in a way that both armature and professional practitioners will appreciate. Worth trying for both the young and the old!
