More Special Spring Savings: Thai Yoga Massage

buckd@sourcevital.com (Buck Dawson) — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 15:46:00 +0000

Thai Yoga Massage was first practiced over 2000 years ago. It is also referred to under different names such as: Thai yoga massage, Thai Medical massage, Traditional Thai massage. The original Pali term is Nuad Bo-Ran and several variations of the spelling exist. The origins of Thai massage are found in Ayurvedic medicine, Tibetan medicine and yoga mixed with the ancient healing practices of Siam.

Thai yoga massage is still used in Thailand today as a form of medical practice. Hands, feet, knees, elbows and body weight are used to produce soft rocking, rhythmic motions. Stretches and lifts are performed while supporting the clients body weight. Joints are loosened and opened using a variety of techniques which incorporate passive stretching, palming, thumbing, rocking, taportment (drumming) and compression. A sensation of floating weightlessness is often reported by the client as physical tension is released. Adjustment to the client's physical condition is always considered as the practitioner works in a slow, rhythmic way. Thai massage provides relief to sore, overworked muscles and fascia and can help reduce recuperation time from exercise. It is also therapeutic for clients who experience difficulty with mobility from various causes including aging. Thai Yoga Massage improves circulation, relieves muscular tension and spasm, boosts the immune system and balances the body energetically and spiritually.

Thai Massage is performed while wearing soft comfortable clothing and no oils are used. You may choose from: 1 Hour 15 Minutes $105 (List Price $120) or 1 Hour 45 Minutes $140 (List Price $160) Promotion for Thai Massage ends April 30, 2007.
