Thai Mobility Therapy

Thai massage, also known as Thai Yoga Massage or Assisted Yoga, is a therapeutic technique that combines acupressure and assisted yoga postures, focusing on improving flexibility, relieving tension, and promoting energy flow through the body. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Combines Acupressure and Yoga:

  Thai Massage incorporates acupressure techniques, where pressure is applied to specific points along the body's energy lines (called "sen" in Thai) to stimulate and balance energy flow. 

• Assisted Stretches:

  The therapist guides the recipient through a series of assisted stretches and yoga-like poses, helping to increase flexibility and release tension in muscles and joints. 

• Floor-Based:

  Thai massage is traditionally practiced on a firm mat on the floor, allowing for a more grounded and dynamic experience. 

• Uses Body Weight and Leverage:

  Therapists use their body weight and leverage to apply pressure and perform stretches, allowing for deeper and more effective work. 

• Ancient Roots:

  Thai Massage has a long history, with roots in Indian Ayurvedic principles and Southeast Asian traditions, and is considered a form of traditional Thai medicine. 

• Focus on Energy Flow:

  The practice aims to improve the flow of energy (Chi or Prana) throughout the body, promoting overall well-being.
