This book contains 3 titles, which are the following:

Deep Tissue Massage - Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique focused on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Unlike traditional relaxation massage, which uses lighter pressure and more superficial strokes, deep tissue massage employs firmer pressure and slower movements to target specific areas of tension and pain.

Swedish Massage - Swedish massage is a popular and widely practiced type of therapeutic massage that focuses on relaxing the entire body. It involves a series of techniques aimed at enhancing circulation, reducing muscle tension, and promoting overall well-being. The massage typically uses long, flowing strokes, kneading, friction, and circular movements to manipulate the muscles and soft tissues. These techniques help to increase blood flow, alleviate muscle soreness, and improve flexibility.

Thai Massage - Thai massage, also known as Nuad Thai or Nuat Thai, has a rich history rooted in ancient traditions. It is believed to have been developed over 2,500 years ago in India by Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, a contemporary of the Buddha and a revered physician in Buddhist tradition. He is often referred to as the "father of medicine" in Thailand. As Buddhism spread to Thailand, so did the practices and principles of Thai massage. The technique evolved over centuries, integrating influences from traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic practices, and indigenous Thai healing methods. Thai massage is distinct from other forms of massage due to its unique combination of acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. It is performed on a mat on the floor, and the recipient remains fully clothed during the session.
