Thai Massage: An Introduction for the Mat and Table by Chuck Duff
Thai massage is unique in that it can benefit both the giver and the receiver if properly performed. Western style therapists often experience symptoms of occupational disability, due to an over-reliance on strength. Thai massage can save the student's hands and give new life to a career, particularly as Chuck teaches it.
Chuck's highly regarded teaching style emphasizes proper alignment, positioning, body mechanics, and working with core energy rather than muscle strength. Through mindful repetition, the student is guided into learning the concepts of effortless application. Chuck's background in yoga, martial arts and therapeutic bodywork gives him a unique and powerful framework for teaching efficient full-body movement.
Chuck first teaches the viewer how to perform a highly effective 1-hour Thai massage sequence on the mat, beginning from first principles. Once the concepts of fluid, effortless movement are established on the mat, he covers the specific adaptations that are necessary on the table, and shows the complete flow as it looks on the table.
The DVD also introduces several other important Thai massage topics covered at Thai Bodywork School of Thai Massage, including HandsFree Thai (tm), Clinical Thai Bodywork, and Luk Pra Kob herbal compress treatments.
HandsFree Thai is a unique and exciting training developed by Chuck to provide a comprehensive treatment modality that totally avoids stress on the therapist's upper body. The broad pressure provided by this style is wonderful for the receiver, particularly athletes and larger clients.
Clinical Thai Bodywork grew out of Chuck's experience in successfully treating conditions of pain and dysfunction. This course series gives the student a framework and tools for addressing specific pain conditions, while adhering to the traditional principles and techniques of Thai massage.

Authentic Thai massage on DVD
This DVD is awesome. I think it's appropriate for anyone interested in Thai Massage. It teaches you a full length Northern-style session that takes over an hour and can be done on the mat or the table.
