Therapeutic Thai Bodywork
About Therapeutic Thai Bodywork
Traditional Thai bodywork is an entire branch of traditional Thai medicine, consisting of a broad range of therapies from traditional chiropractic's to fire cupping to the use of herbs, balms, and liniments. In addition to being a complete physical system, Thai bodywork integrates a deep spiritual component of Buddhism as medicine, and the understanding that the physical, mental, energetic, and emotional bodies are not separate.
Therapeutic Thai bodywork sessions incorporate a multitude of bodywork techniques: sessions may include deep tissue compression; gentle passive stretching and joint mobilization; the use of herbal compresses, balms, and liniments; and cupping or scraping. The work is focused on freeing pathways of movement—muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves—in the body to support your being’s state of balance. Muscles can contract and relax with ease; space within joints allows for proper skeletal alignment; blood, lymph, and nerves are restored with fluidity of movement.
Sessions are integrative and treatment-oriented. We'll start with intake and discussion to address goals and needs before moving into bodywork. Most sessions take place on a mat on the floor with clients wearing loose, comfortable clothing. Sessions can be targeted or encompassing; physically intensive or gently nourishing, depending on the needs of the client.
