What is Thai acupressure?
It is an ancient Thai medical practice used to treat
most human ailments by applying pressure on potent
acupressure points and therapy lines. The practitioner
uses his thumbs, hands, elbows, and knees to work on the
energy channels and therapy points of his client's body.
This book presents the basic teaching of Thai acupressure
- the use of ready-made point combinations to treat
orthopedic ailments. Each treatment routine is based on
a set combination of points that treats a specific disorder.
Thai acupressure is unknown among most westerners,
even those that are familiar with Thai general massage.
Unlike general Thai massage for the whole body, Thai
medical acupressure routines are used to treat specific
orthopedic pains. These are highly effective treatment
routines that are also extremely simple to use.
