Thai Massage Thai massage can be best described as assisted yoga or assisted stretching. It has originated in Thailand and is also known as Nuad Bo Rarn, translating to “ancient massage”. Palm and thumb presses along sen lines (energy lines) are incorporated with the assisted stretching and passive mobilization of the body. Thai massage becomes a graceful dance between the practitioner and client. This bodywork promotes qi movement (“chi” is life energy) throughout the whole body, increases flexibility, promotes blood and lymph circulation, creates openness throughout the body by stretching, and reduces tightness in muscle tissue that may be a cause of pain. Thai massage is also a wonderful way to harmonize the mind, body, and spirit. Clients feel this work to be a deep form of bodywork without being invasive to sensitive muscle tissue. This treatment is performed on floor mats, and the client would want to wear comfortable clothing for the session. Clean hands and feet are expected from both client and practitioner when coming to the mat. 60, 90 or 120 minutes
Thai Herbal Compress Massage Thai herbal compresses are filled with healing herbs from around the world and warmed to release the healing powers of the herbs.

The compress is pressed onto the body or placed on problem areas to allow the body to absorb the herbs’ nutrients. The compresses are a wonderful addition to any form massage or bodywork treatment, but are traditionally used with Thai massage. The compresses are a wonderful treatment for anyone with chronic muscle pain, arthritis, digestive problems, achy joints, or for anyone who seeks deep relaxation. 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes

Sensory Repatterning Sensory Repatterning is a kinesthetic form of bodywork that includes passive joint mobilization, body rocking, and assisted stretching. As humans, we have a tendency to sit, walk, and move in a way that torques our body and patterns our muscles in a way that is not beneficial to us. Sensory Repatterning invites the body and muscle tissues to remember their natural placement and movement. This form of bodywork uses the skeleton to massage the joints and muscle tissue from the inside of the body and promotes joint lubrication. As a client, you would want to wear comfortable clothing for Sensory Repatterning as the body is passively moved and assisted stretching is included. 30 or 60 minutes

For thousands of years some form of massage or laying on of hands has been used to heal and soothe the sick. To the ancient Greek and Roman physicians, massage was one of the principal means of healing and relieving pain. In traditional cultures, especially in the East, it is accepted as natural that people of all ages can benefit from regular massage. But here in the West, though its value has always been recognized in the world of sport, its use has only recently spread to other fields. Massage can relieve tension, soothe away headaches and relax taut and aching muscles. This helps our bodies cope with everyday stress.
