THAI MASSAGE BODYWORK
Thai massage is a unique modality, also known as Nuad Bo-Rarn, Thai Yoga Bodywork- Thai Yoga Massage or Lazy Man’s Yoga, this centuries old practice has its roots in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Thai folk healing. Thai Massage occurs on a comfortable floor mat massage table for those who are unable to use the floor mat. The practitioner uses hands, thumbs, forearms, elbows, knees- and feet to stimulate meridians and pressure points throughout the body in a meditative, flowing rhythm. The recipient is guided into passive yoga postures linking breath with movement to stretch muscles, compress and decompress joints and increase range of motion. Whether or not you are a yoga practitioner- Thai Yoga Massage will leave you feeling deeply refreshed – relaxed with long lasting benefits.

For centuries, Thai massage was performed by monks as one component of Thai medicine. While the recorded history of Thai massage was lost during the war with Burmese in 1767, the surviving records are now inscribed in stone and can be found within the temple of Pra Chetuphon in Bangkok, known as Wat Po, the temple of the reclining Buddha. Its spiritual aspect also remains as teachers of the therapy begin classes with the practice of waikru, a series of prayers and recitations dedicated to Shivago Komarpaj, the father of Thai massage and the God of Healing, and

What is Thai Massage?
Thai
massage looks like a cross between acupressure, yoga, and Zen shiatsu and is
inspired by Buddhist teachings. The actual massage consists of slow, rhythmic
compressions and stretches along the body’s energy lines, also called sen in
Thai. Over 70,000 sen are said to exist within the body which powers all
physical, mental, and emotional processes. If there is an energy imbalance, the
body’s harmony is disrupted, causing pain and disease. Massaging along these
key energy lines can break energy blockage, stimulate the circulation, and
restore general well-being.
Thai massage
concentrates on applying pressure along 10 of the most important sen. In doing
this, it incorporates acupressure work with a series
of assisted yoga-like stretches, in which the practitioner uses his or her
hands, arms, legs, and feet to give the massage.
The emphasis is on the
practitioner using his or her body weight as much as possible while ensuring
that the receiver remains relaxed throughout the entire treatment.
A Thai massage is typically
performed on a floor mat enabling practitioners to use their body weight and to
incorporate the many movements that would not be possible with a massage table. Normally, the
client remains fully clothed, and lubricant for the skin is rarely used. A Thai
massage usually lasts one to two hours but may be three hours or more if
needed.
Thai massage includes the
following four basic positions:
(1)
from the front with the
client lying supine.
(2)
from the side with the client
alternately lying on either side.
(3)
from the back with the client
lying prone
in a sitting position.
The body’s energy lines, also called “Sen” in Thai
One of the most important principles of Thai massage is the continuous flow of sequential movements that prepares the client for the next step in the massage. The practitioner is always aware of his position so that an uninterrupted slow rhythm is maintained deep, sustained pressure ensures that the Myofascial, or the muscle’s connective tissue, soften and relax to release the flow of energy along the sen, and to prepare the client for the large-scale stretches that follow.
How does it feel?
Different from other forms of bodywork – smoothness, rhythm and flow are three words that come to mind. Hence the nickname “lazy-man’s yoga” this is pretty much what it feels like, except that you’re receiving an acupressure massage as well.
First time recipients of the massage react differently; some find the pressing techniques – particularly those done with the thumb – a little uncomfortable; others are shocked at the degree of stretching their stiff body can achieve.
Almost all feel relaxed, refreshed and much more flexible afterwards, and those who have regular Thai massage come to enjoy the deep pressure techniques and spectacular manipulations
