Thai Massage, or Thai Yoga Massage, was developed 2,500 years ago by Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, the physician to the Buddha. While Thai Massage is intensely physical, incorporating applied Yoga stretches, it is essentially an energetic massage. It works the 'Sen' lines, which share historical roots and functional similarities with the nadis and meridians of Indian, Chinese and Japanese bodywork. Using palm, thumb, and elbow pressure, these lines are rhythmically, systematically worked, and then stretched, throughout the massage. The massage begins with your feet, and works its way up towards the crown of your head.
As the lines are massaged, energetic as well as myofascial blockages are released. Thai massage is relaxing and invigorating, never painful.
Please note that this massage is not designed to address musculo-skeletal issues as defined within western medicine.
