| Synopsis:
This movie by Chuck Duff, founder of Thai Bodywork School of Thai Massage provides in-depth coverage of the techniques of HandsFree Thai(tm), which allow the practitioner to work on large or heavily muscled clients in a way that is highly beneficial for the client and the practitioner. Commoner or rural style (Nuad Chaleisak) techniques allow the therapist to provide broad, deep pressure using feet, knees, shins and highly efficent body mechanics, avoiding stress on the hands or shoulders. Over 100 asana variations are taught as a 2 hour treatment sequence employing all treatment attitudes. Thai massage has a long tradition of walking techniques, as do many other cultures. These techniques can be practiced without elaborate equipment such as ropes, bars or specially made treatment rooms. If the practitioner is developing balance, a simple object like a chair is sufficient to help maintain safe balance while on the client.

Hats off to HandsFree April 22, 2007
Cindy (highlands, new jersey)
An excellent and unique video, presented in a clear and concise manner. A flowing sequence which can be used just by itself, or incorporate techniques from it into any thai bodywork session. Chucks attention to anatomical and clinical detail is impressive. His emphasis is on proper alignment,body mechanics and working from your center. There are numerous techniques that I have not seen in any other thai video. I recommend it highly and as a thai practioner, find it an extremely valuable addition to my thai video library. It has expanded my range of techniques and options in my own practice.
