In A Myofascial Approach to Thai Massage Evans takes a radically different approach to Thai Massage by redefining the sen lines in myofascial terms. He provides a coherent system illustrating the function and benefits of Thai Massage through its actions on the myofascial network, lymph and blood flow. A Myofascial Approach to Thai Massage:• questions some of the more dubious moves in Thai Massage. • looks at the ‘spiritual’ aspects of Thai Massage in terms of presence, attention and the therapist/client relationship. • takes a unique view of Thai Massage and opens the way for further exploration of massage in the myofascial field. • includes some examples of working with clients to illustrate the themes. This book will be of interest to both experienced and student manual/physical therapists and yoga teachers. Although specifically about Thai Massage it will cover many aspects of the therapist/patient relationship – well explored in psychotherapy but surprisingly little covered in massage courses.
