Translated from Nuad Bo Rarn as "the ancient quality
to touch with intention of imparting healing", this
modality of massage focuses on deep passive stretching and
acupressure along the Sib Sen channels. A Thai Therapist
uses their hands, feet, knees, elbows and bodyweight in a
flowing series of rhythmic, meditative movements, to release
blocked energy and to stimulate energy flow throughout the
body. The treatment becomes a moving meditation whereby both
client and practitioner move into a space of gentle trust
and receptivity. Thai massage is great in helping musculo-skeletal
pain, injuries, digestive problems, anxiety, insomnia, plus
much more. The physical application of "Metta" (or
Loving-Kindness) is the intention to enable the receiver
to 'let go' of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
blocks. At the end of the treatment the receiver comes out
feeling more open, stretched and balanced. Thai bodywork
is carried out fully clothed on a futon mat, with the client
wearing loose comfortable clothing & no oil is used.
