Techniques are very adaptable to varying
needs of clients—athletes to couch potatoes, those in need of
gentle handling or those in need of the most intense deep tissue therapy.
Thai bodywork treatments are performed on a floor mat.
The client wears comfortable clothes. The “classic” traditional

Advanced techniques can extend a Thai massage to 2 or
more hours, or the session may be abbreviated where shorter may be more
appropriate to the needs of the client.

if desired the yoga may be left out of the treatment, completely.
The Thai practitioner’s hands, feet, forearms,
knees & elbows apply: acupressure, reflexology, compressions, applied
yoga & deep gentle passive stretching, to awaken stagnate energy,
and remove negative energy from ‘blocked or broken’ sen
meridian lines.
Some causes of sen line blockages and breaks are over
& under exercise, trauma, strains, sprains, injuries, fatigue, stress
- physical & mental, poor posture, repetitive activities, illness
& disease.
Some indications for Thai massage are: aches & pain
- acute or chronic, swelling, sensitivity, numbness, muscle knots, stiffness
& soreness, lack of flexibility and muscle imbalance.
Stagnate & negative energy is replaced with vital
energy, increased circulation of blood & lymph, flexibility &
increased range of motion, grounding, balance, relaxation and improved
posture.
This ancient technique can relieve pain, aches &
stress of shoulders, arms, legs, hips, back, neck and head.
