I have learned so much in my search to heal from my injuries and in my mission to create a healthy lifestyle. When you are in pain you are willing to try just about anything to make it stop.

Thai Massage is one of many tools I have discovered on my Healing Journey. Click HERE to subscribe to my blog to receive more articles in this series and others about how to heal and Be Healthy.
Buddhist monks used Yoga-Thai Massage as a healing modality over 2, years ago. It is a blend of Yoga, Meditation, Acupressure and Reflexology. It is unique in its combination of both physical and energetic aspects and can be both deeply relaxing and energizing. It is Yoga that is performed on the client, not by the client. It is used to increase flexibility, release tension and balance the body's energy systems.
The client doesn't need any experience or training to enjoy the benefits of Thai Massage. The results depend both on the therapist's ability to create a trust with the client and the client's receptiveness and ability to relax. They work together on healing the mind, body and spirit.
The massage is performed on a matt or mattress on the floor to provide the therapist plenty of room for movement and body-weight distribution. Lotions and oils are not used in Thai Massage and the client is fully clothed in loose, comfortable clothing. The client starts by laying on their back. This full-body treatment begins at the feet and moves up to the head. For at least sixty minutes the client's body is moved in to various yoga-like positions as their joints and muscles are moved, loosened and stretched.
The therapist and the client move in harmony to the rhythm of the massage. What are the benefits of Thai Massage? Thai Massage is a holistic healing art that is designed to heal a person physically, emotionally and spiritually.
