HEALING PEOPLE FOR OVER 1,000 YEARS... One of the oldest therapeutic arts, Thai massage harmonizes the energies of the body and mind. By pressing, stretching, and applying appropriate techniques to the body, powerful healing forces are released that alleviate pain and stress and align the body's posture.
Through the enhancement of flexibility, Thai massage helps to maintain health and youthful vitality and improves athletic performance. The exquisite techniques, resembling yoga and described in this book, also incorporate practical pressure on acupuncture points, bringing additional therapeutic results.
USE THAI MASSAGE FOR:
- Activating the body's natural healing forces.
- Giving and receiving a complete full-body treatment.
- Feeling mentally calm and free from muscle tension.
- Healing common "ailments" such as headaches and sciatica.
Maria Mercati, an internationally recognized teacher, healer, and author, founded BODYHARMONICS® in 1992 to promote acupuncture, Chinese Tui Na massage, and Thai massage. She has trained throughout Asia.
