Thai Massage in Practice

Oriental Science has long seen the human body as an energy system that is maintained by balancing itself with the Life Energy of the universe.

Life Energy circulates in the body through channels called “Energy Lines”, similar to the meridians identified by acupuncture.

The aim of Thai Massage is to harmonize mind and body with the flow of Life Energy through the Energy Lines. When “in tune” with Life Force, we experience our natural vitality.

Thai massage works the Energy Lines in a number of ways:

• Tapping and brushing
• AcupressRhythmic massage
• Compassionate presence of the practitioner
• Pleasant stretching
• Movement of joints
