Thai Massage at Rose Osteopathy and Wellness
Traditional Thai Massage also known as Thai Yoga Massage is a traditional healing modality, which has been practiced in
Thailand for centuries. Based on Ayurvedic medicine and yoga from India it was developed and popularized by Buddha's
personal physician "Shivagakomarapaj".
Thai massage incorporates a traditional combination of acupressure, energy meridian work, and yoga-like stretching.
Thai massage is different from many other styles of massage because treatment is done on a mat on the ground rather
than on an elevated table surface. The patient stays fully clothed and traditionally no oil is used.
Thai massage works to stimulate the body's natural healing process and takes a holistic approach to healing. The
philosophy behind Thai massage focuses on energy lines throughout the body called "Sen", also known as "Prana" in Yoga,
and "Qi" in Acupuncture.
Throughout the treatment the practitioner works to massage, press and stretch along the Sen lines. Thai massage is a great
treatment for anyone looking to improve range of motion and flexibility as well as decrease muscle spasm or pain. It is
very relaxing and may help improve circulation and lymph drainage.
