Traditional Thai Massage

Traditional Thai Massage is an extraordinary 2500 year old healing arts system based in Ayurvedic
Medicine, Buddhist spiritual practice, and Yoga. More than just massage, Thai Massage blends gentle
rocking, rhythmic acupressure and deep assisted stretches to open, exercise and tone all the systems
of the body. Done comfortably clothed on a floor mat, Thai Massage feels as wonderful as it looks.
Deeply therapeutic, fluid and meditative, Thai Massage relaxes, refreshes and revitalizes, both giver
and receiver. It's ancient origins are linked to Yoga, Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine, as well as the
local indigenous healing practices of ancient Siam. It is still used in Thailand today as part of the
healing regime for many different ailments of the body.
Thai Massage is a combination of gentle rocking, range of motion, acupressure, reflexology, energy
work and stretching, a form of passive yoga. Joints are loosened and opened through manipulation and
peripheral stimulation, muscles are stretched, internal organs are toned, vitality is increased and a
deep state of relaxation can be achieved. The work is very rhythmical and meditative, enabling both
the client and practitioner to voyage together into deeper realms of consciousness.

The massage is done on a floor mat with the receiver wearing loose, comfortable clothing. This gives the practitioner a lot of leverage and the ability to use their body very effectively, it also allows for movements that are not as effective, or impossible on a table. Therapists are trained to respect everyone's varied amount of flexibility and can therefore benefit the limber athlete, as well as the those who are not very limber, by stretching everyone to their own personal limits.
