Seated Thai Massage

The traditional healing massage of Thailand originated in India during the Buddha's lifetime, over 2500 years ago. The routine you will learn involves manipulation using stretching techniques and gentle pressure along the SEN or energy lines of the body. It has a close relationship with Indian Ayurvedic medicine, yoga, traditional Chinese medicine and Japanese Shiatsu.

The aim of Thai massage is to release toxins and waste materials from the joints, muscles and connective tissue, and stimulate internal organs by gentle pressure on specific energy points. It is especially good for releasing stress and tension, and encouraging relaxation of both mind and body. The routine can easily be adapted for corporate work.
