The book provides a richly curated combination of tools, techniques and protocols that will enhance all practitioners' skill sets. Natasha discusses the roots of this modality as Buddhist medicine, the five element system, the use of therapeutic herbs and Thai anatomy, whilst also writing about concepts such as proprioception and interoception. There is an additional chapter looking at traditional healthcare practices for women, informed by her time spent with village midwives on the Thai\/Burmese border. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNatasha de Grunwald uses imagery from many hours spent in a cadaver lab to describe anatomical, textural layers and structures, bringing human form to life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe consolidates this with a therapeutic perspective on Thai medical theory and how Thai massage and bodywork can be carried out in a clinical setting. This comes from her extensive research, studies and knowledge spanning over three decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natasha de Grunwald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913426114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913426118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Handspring Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 7.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Natasha de Grunwald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993780748543,"sku":"9781913426118","price":48.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efe7418e-9fac-4948-8f4e-df1f74df8193.jpg?v=1683326271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thai-massage-dissected-natasha-de-grunwald-9781913426118","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
