In Thailand, Thai massage is traditionally practiced in a large open room (often in Buddhist temples!) with multiple practitioners working together. This creates a group healing dynamic which enhances the power of each individual session. Partner massage is an ancient and dynamic bodywork therapy, having it's roots in the Indian system of Yoga and Ayurveda. It was brought to Thailand along with Buddhism around 2000 years ago. It combines assisted stretches with techniques to stimulate the energy lines and pressure points within the body ~ Together these actions result in a comprehensive full body treatment which:
~Facilitates relaxation
~Heightens awareness
~Frees blockages in energy flow
~Invigorates the nervous system
~Relieves pain and muscle tension
~Strengthens and rejuvenates the body
~Improves circulation of blood and lymph
~Increases flexibility (passive yoga postures)
~Gives a general feeling of well being assisting in balancing body, mind, and spirit.
~Enhances elimination of wastes and toxic debris from physical, mental and emotional strain
Partner massage is performed on mats on the floor, and is done fully clothed. Please wear comfortable, yoga-type clothing that is loose fitting and covers your armpits, as well as socks to cover your feet.
