Thai Bodywork: An Ancient Therapeutic Tradition

During a Thai Bodywork session, you will be gently moved or rocked into various positions and stretches.
Beginning with slow, rhythmic and gentle touch, pressure is applied with thumbs, fingers, palm, elbows, knees
or feet along pressure points and energy meridians. Pressure can be then adjusted according to your needs or
preferences. While it can be performed in a very gentle and relaxing manner, this type of bodywork also allows
for much deeper work than many other types of more common modalities and is perfect for people who often
feel that they are not able to get enough pressure in their massage

This work  is often effective in reducing neck and shoulder pain, headaches and low back pain. Postural
distortions due to muscular imbalance and facial restriction are alleviated and often corrected. It is also used to
support athletes preparing for and recovering from sporting events, and help patients recover faster from
surgery. Recipients have reported reduced discomfort from arthritis, menstrual cramps, insomnia, digestive
difficulties, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Benefits tend to multiply with regular treatments..

This work is done without oils or lotions and is performed with the client fully clothed in comfortable, loose fitting
clothing. After the session, many people report feeling extremely relaxed yet energized.

Clinical Thai Bodywork:  East Meets West Healing

This approach utilizes many of the Thai Bodywork techniques but is customized based on pain patterns and
postural distortions. Informed by a modern western understanding of
trigger points and myofacial pain patterns,
as based strongly on Drs. Travell and Simons seminal work, a treatment plan is devised based on a thorough
postural analysis and myofacial pain assessment.
