What is Thai Bodywork?
Thai Bodywork is a traditional healing method that has been practiced in Thailand for centuries. With the incorporation of Acupressure, meridian energy work (sen lines) and Yoga-like stretching, Thai Bodywork improves circulation, flexibility and muscle tone. As in other massage methods, Thai is used to stimulate the body’s natural healing process and take a role in repairing damaged tissue.
In Thailand, this type of massage ranges from a medical discipline that has a four-year degree University program to small time people who learn via word of mouth. Ayurvedic influence from India is said to be the tie for using the meridian energy work in Thai Bodywork.
