Interests: Thai massage is an ancient form of healing dating back over 2,500 years, with its roots in yoga, Ayurvedic medicine and meditation. It is known in Thailand as Nuad Paan Boran which literally means ancient healing touch. Along with proper diet, adequate exercise and spiritual guidance, Thai people have for centuries believed that regularly receiving Thai massage is one of the four essential elements of maintaining health and well-being.
More energizing and rigorous than most Western forms of massage; Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage because the therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Almost like a choreographed dance, this therapy moves slowly and effortlessly, using an ingeniously created series of leveraged weight and counter balancing movements that fully support the therapist and the client. Many people say Thai massage is like doing yoga without any work.
Muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure are also used during treatment.
