Thai Massage

is part of the Asian family of body work styles which include Thai Massage (Thailand), Shiatsu (Japan), Tui Na (China), and Yoga Therapy (India).

In contrast to western styles of bodywork, the Asian styles are all based on the concept that an effective treatment needs to address more than just the physical body with its bones, muscles, nerves and blood circulation.

Treatments include working on energy pathways which are the support structure for the physical body. This energy is called ‘Lom’ (Thailand), ‘Ki’ (Japan),‘Qi‘ (China), and ‘Prana’ (India).

There is no exact English equivalent for these words, but they can be translated as ‘life energy’. This energy runs in channels which are called ‘Sen’ (Thai Massage), ‘Meridian’ (Chinese Medicine), or ‘Nadi’ (Indian Yoga).

Western Medicine does not recognize this energy, but healing methods which are based on this energy have been successfully used for literally thousands of years in Thailand, China and India up to the present day to treat and, more importantly, prevent diseases.

There are countless success stories, and the effectiveness of these healing methods is beyond doubt for many millions of people.

If the body is not moved, it will deteriorate

The body has a need for movement which is largely stifled in western society with our sedentary habits.

If muscles are underused or overused they stiffen and shorten, resulting in restricted movement, tightness and pain.

This then results in restricted joint movement, limited spinal flexibility, a lowered immune system, and ultimately disease.

Combined with stressful lifestyles, inadequate breathing and inability to deeply relax, the consequence is a long list of symptoms which plague humanity.

Thai Massage offers a real solution to counteract and reverse those symptoms.

Thai Healing Massage can produce results in many areas:

How is Thai Healing Massage done?

A great convenience factor is that it is done fully dressed, and no oil is used. Therefore it doesn’t require total privacy.

Aside from a treatment room it can easily be done in the living room on a mat or folded blanket, in the park or even on the beach.

There is no need for a massage table. In fact, Thai Massage can be done more effectively on a floor mat.

The therapist moves with the recipient in a gentle, flowing way which could be compared to a graceful dance.

The tools of the massage therapist are thumbs, hands, elbows, forearms, knees, and feet. Movements consist of stretching, rocking, pressing, massaging, and holding.
