The Passive Stretch Workbook & DVD

[Big Dummy]

I just came across an ad for this on pg. 25 of the
march/april edition of Massage & Bodywork. Has anyone else worked with it ? I'd love to hear your feedback as I was
debating about whether to make the purchase !

Hope everyone is staying warm, since we just went through
another snowfall here on the east coast this past Friday !

BUMP

I was really hoping someone else might have heard of this
reference guide, so I could get their take on it. Oh well,
so it goes....

If it helps anyone else I did go on Amazon & checked out the book there. It got 3 good reviews and has upwards of
120 different Thai Yoga type stretches which they say can
easily be utilized on the table.

See Amazon's write-up:
Review
A clear, concise presentation of Thai massage techniques adapted for the table that are ergonomically safe when done correctly. The seated routine is energizing for the client and the self-stretches are excellent for self-care. Introducing these new skills into a session can really hint at what an authentic Thai massage on the mat is like. --Kristin Nutall, Registered Thai Therapist

Product Description
The Passive Stretch Workbook (Table Thai and more)offers the trained massage therapist a step-by- step guide to stretches for the client on the massage table. Done with the client awake or sound asleep, draped or fully clothed, these stretches are adapted from many modalities and can be incorporated into the work you already do. The stretches address every muscle group of the body and cover supine, prone, and side-lying positions. Bonus features include stretches for the seated client and self-stretches for the therapist.

Amazon offers just the workbook, I didn't see the DVD listed there. It sells for $29.95 & it's eligible for free shipping.

On this site you can purchase either the book at $29.95
(with shipping included) or the DVD for $39.95 or get
both for $50.00, shipping included.

Hope this helps you out ! My clients love passive stretching, and I do a few Active Isolated Stretches through the course of many sessions, so I thought this could be a great addition to add to the mix !

Ordered Book/Dvd Combo

Thank you for the link. I just ordered the combo and will let you know how it goes. I just started working in a gym spa and really need to add some more stretches to my toolbox. I studied some thai massage when I was in school and regret not knowing how to use it on the table(draping issues, leverage issues). I am very excited!!! Just what I was looking for

Can't wait to hear what you think of the set. I'm still
interested in getting it, but for now I'll wait to see how
you & your clients, feel about it first ! Thanks for letting
me know you'll be getting it soon.

Hey there teegralux,

Just a quick shout out to see if you've been using the
Passive Stretch combo enough to see how it's working
out yet ?

Thanks,
Riversinger

about the stretch workbook

I have been going through the book and have picked up a few new stretches I can use. I was a bit disappointed that no draping has been shown. The girl in the workbook and video is wearing clothes. The video is word for word from the book which I found a little strange. I have been going through it with another therapist from work and we really like a few of the stretches and others we are not feeling (yet anyway). I am only half way through the information and actually glad I can see her perform the stretches which might be hard to figure out with just the workbook, especially if you have no Thai Massage education. So I'm glad I got the combo off her website. The book is only 48 pages but it is professional and straight to the point. I trust that author Kay Rynerson is dedicated to massage and a knowledgeable educator. I am inspired to do more stretches with my clients if I can figure out the draping.
