A myofascial approach to Thai massage: East meets West

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.
