A NEW, NON-TRADITIONAL APPROACH TO PRENATAL THAI YOGA MASSAGEThai Yoga massage is the ideal, manual method that a woman can hope for in pregnancy, in the birthing room, and in the months that follow birth.

The line work, the pressure of key points, squeezing, rotating, mobilizations, and especially the stretches and Yoga- like postures are exactly what she needs.

I was lucky to treat many pregnant women before ever learning of the many limitations that I am supposed to put on the treatment session.

My experience has taught me that most pregnancy massage formal limitations are far too exaggerated.

This guidebook was written to encourage you to put fewer limitations on your treatment and to use the many different postures, as long as they feel appropriate to you and as long as your pregnant client likes them.

This guidebook presents 25 treatment routines for common pregnancy, labor and postpartum discomforts.

The original version of these routines were put together in 2003 by me, Eran Goldstein, and Idit Tyroler.

This content was part of a thesis that Eran and Idit were writing at the end of their Dula (labor companion) course.

This thesis was used as a manual in the pregnancy massage workshops for my students in Israel.

I revised these routines with Motke Eilon for this new edition.

These are not traditional Thai massage treatment routines.

We are the originators of this collection of treatment protocols.

The pressure techniques and stretches, however, are all taken from Thai massage.
