  HandsFree Thai Massage: The Commoner style DVD  This 130-minute DVD presents over 100 asanas comprising 2+ hours of treatment in Chuck Duff’s unique HandsFree Thai routine, which allows therapists to work deeply on any size client without stress on the therapist’s body.   This DVD by Chuck Duff provides in-depth instruction of the techniques of HandsFree Thai™, 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. We teach the student to be able to do this work with as little mechanical assistance as possible.   HandsFree Thai™ is an excellent way for the practitioner to safely work with athletes and other clients who require deeper pressure without endangering the hands, wrists and shoulders. As in all of our courses, we maintain a strong therapeutic focus in our teaching, guiding the student in how to work with specific issues of pain or dysfunction. We employ the principles of Clinical Thai Bodywork to teach the student patterns of pain and its origins while using HandsFree techniques. $49.95 + S&Hhttp://www.thaimassageschool.net/thai-massage-video.php
