also known as yoga massage, consists of deep massage and
stretching movements. The therapist uses his hands, elbows, knees, feet
and entire legs to move the client into a series of yoga stretches. No
oils are used in Thai massage. The client wears comfortable clothes, and
the massage is performed on the floor on padded mats. Getting Thai
massage may feel like doing yoga without having to exert yourself.
Thai Massage incorporates elements of mindfulness, gentle rocking, deep stretching, and rhythmic compression to create a singular healing experience. Thai Massage uses assisted yoga Asanas to open the joints and relieve the tension in surrounding muscles, which allows prana, chi, or healing energy to move more freely through the body. Thai Massage allows the receiver to experience a deepening into the asana (yoga posture) through a deep and gentle assistance, opening the joints without the resistance created when using their own power. The use of gentle rocking, thumb pressure and rhythmic compression helps the body to be prepared for the stretches so that the person feels “invited” to receive the stretch and defence reactions are not triggered
