Overview

In this step-by-step guide to the art of Thai foot massage, the author Simon Piers Gall brings together many years of training in this field. The result is a book that will enable you to perform a Thai foot massage as traditionally taught in Thailand. The practical sections of the book are clearly divided into the different sections of the massage and uses colour photos and graphics alongside clear explanations to enable you to perform the techniques with confidence. There is discussion of the history & development of thai foot massage as well as theory on the reflex points of the feet and the Thai concept of Sen (energy) lines that flow throughout the body, to help you understand how this ancient healing art works. Thai foot massage not only feels great, it also promotes good health. It does not claim to cure any disease or illness, but it may just stop any from occurring.
