Thai Massage

Thai Massage is a system of massage and assisted stretching developed in Thailand, and influenced by the traditional medicine systems of India, China, and Southeast Asia. The receiver may be positioned in a variety of yoga-like positions during the course of the massage while deep static or rhythmic pressures are applied.

For Thai massage, wear loose, comfortable clothing that you will keep on during your massage as your therapist moves your body into a variety of yoga-like postures while applying deep, static pressure using their hands, feet, and forearms. Expect to be stretched in new directions... The massage generally follows the Sen lines on the body, somewhat analogous to meridians or channels and Indian nadis.

A full Thai massage session typically lasts two hours or more, and includes rhythmic pressing and stretching of the entire body; this may include pulling fingers, toes, ears, cracking the knuckles, walking on the recipient's back, and arching the recipient into bhujangasana (or cobra position). There is a standard procedure and rhythm to the massage, which the practitioner will adjust to fit each individual client.

The true practice of the art of healing in traditional nuad boran (thai massage) is the compassionate intent of the healer. The Buddhist spiritual practices associated with thai massage cultivate humility, awareness, and concentration in the healer designed to bring the practitioner to a deeper level of awareness of herself and the client. This compassionate state of being is termed "metta", which usually translates as "loving kindness".
