Description

It is heartening to see how the modern age is rediscovering the beneficial effects of massage. In fact,right down the ages it has been regarded as one of the most effective therapies for de-stressing. It is unfortunate that the art of massage, which was so intricately woven in our custom, is slowly dying a sad death while the western countries have woken up to the magic of massage.

This book brings you all the different kinds of massage techniques used all through the world. The Tui Na, Chua-ka, Nuad Bo’Rarn and our famous Kerala Massage are just a few examples of the various types of massage globally popular, today.

With the help of this book you can learn all about healing through the use of massage therapy. Allied therapies like Aromatherapy, Osteopathy, Reflexology, Rolfing and Shiatsu are very popular for their efficacy. What is lesser known is that they mostly use the basic tenets of massage, for efficacy.
