 The practice of Thai Massage is somewhat different than the type of massage familiar to most people. Unlike therapies performed on a massage table, Thai Massage is performed on a large floor mat and the recipient remains fully clothed. Your therapist begins each session by working the muscles of your feet with gentle pressure and stretching. Then, once your feet have become soft and pliable, your therapist will continue working with compression techniques and manipulation of acupressure points. Muscles of the legs and hips are addressed before the back and shoulders. The stretches, influenced by the Yoga Asanas, lengthen and loosen muscles and are designed to balance and realign the body over a period of time. When combined, these techniques flow in a comforting rhythm that lets your body fall into a deep state of relaxation. Thai massage is a unique, ancient, and time-tested form of bodywork. Practitioners use their hands — and also their feet and knees — in order to facilitate an optimal release of stress and tension; this release is designed to balance and realign the body over a period of time. |

The lifestyle of our times is full of overwork and stress. Whether you spend long stressful hours in an office every day, or challenge
yourself athletically, Thai Massage will help to reestablish the balance and stability your body has lost due to overwork, injury, or poor
alignment. Remember that you stay passive during the stretching. Thai massage has been called by some "the lazy person's Yoga";
your role in the experience is to simply relax and fall into the consciousness of deep breathing. Some of the physical benefits of Thai Massage...
Nothing in the world is softer and or yielding than water But, for wearing down the hard and strong there is nothing like it. That yielding overcomes the strong And softness overcomes the hard It is something that is known by all But practiced by few. An important aspect of Thai massage is that it is energetically based. As your muscles are stretched and relaxed, they soften. Once the body is relaxed and open, energy will begin to flow freely where it was once stagnant or blocked. We constrict our energy flow by holding tension in our bodies. Physical and/or emotional stress is the cause of this tension. Thai Massage moves energy along through the Sen lines. Sen lines are similar to the Chinese system of meridian lines used in acupuncture. During your Thai massage, as the energy moves along these Sen lines, you may experience warmth, tingling, or electric sensations. This is the life energy moving. We believe that once the energy begins to move, life is ultimately improved. We feel that the body, mind, and emotions all work together and directly affect one another. To learn about other methods we use to move life energy, please read about the SSR or All Love Healing Matrix Techniques that we offer as one of our services, typically recommended to those who desire to take their own lives to the "next level"... Thai Foot Reflexology There are days that one needs relaxation, but doesn't have the time to receive a full Thai Massage. For a shorter session, we recommend Thai foot reflexology. The points of the feet have an effect on the entire body and can send us into a great state of relaxation. During a session, your feet and lower legs are opened with pressure and light stretching that leaves your feet glowing for the rest of the day. These sessions are great for those who work on their feet or walk a lot every day. Fresh herb packs can be added to your Thai Reflexology session to send it over the top! Read about our fresh herbs in the Herb Packs section.  Our teacher once told us with a smile, "Massage is like a haircut, you still have to fix the hair every morning." This is true of any sort of bodywork. As therapists, we are only here to help you to make the changes needed to heal your body. To truly progress, a constant effort must be made between sessions to maintain the newfound balance you get from each session. |
