Thai Massage- how can it help?
Thai Yoga Bodywork (TYB), sometimes referred to as Thai Yoga massage, is an ancient holistic healing art that harmonizes mind, body, and spirit. Practiced in Thailand for over 2,500 years, TYB has its roots in Ayurvedic medicine as well as Buddhist and yogic practices and is based on the theory that the body’s vital energy flows through channels called Sen. TYB seeks to release energy blockages, which restores equilibrium.
TYB can relieve muscular tension, improve circulation, boost the immune system, increase flexibility, enhance athletic performance, balance the body’s energy system, and integrate mind, body, and spirit for an overall feeling of well-being.
The TYB practitioner uses his palms, forearms, elbows, knees, and feet in a fusion of techniques, such as reflexology, joint mobilization, assisted yoga stretches, and unhurried twists.
TYB is performed on a floor mat in a safe, relaxing environment. A traditional TYB session lasts between 1½ and 2 hours. An hour-long treatment can also be designed to meet individual needs. Recipients should wear loose, comfortable clothing.
