Thai Massage
Thai Massage has been practiced in Thailand
for over 2,000 years, Thai massage -- also known as yoga massage,
Thai yoga massage and ancient massage -- works to clear energy
blockages and restore balance and harmony to the body. The practice
combines typical Westernized massage therapy practices, including myofascial
release and trigger
point therapy, with light stretching similar to that of yoga. It
has even earned the name "lazy man's yoga." Like yoga, Thai massage
helps to strengthen the body and increase flexibility, while
allowing the client to benefit from the relaxation and healing
properties of massage.Rather than using a massage table, Thai massage is administered
to fully clothed clients on floor mats. Practitioners use their own
body weight to position clients into yoga-like forms while
instructing clients on proper breathing for maximum results.
