It also increases the range of motion by mobilizing the intervertebral joints.

As Wat Pho was the first open university in Thailand and is a place famous for keeping the knowledge of traditional medicine, every year in April people gather at this place to honor the long line of teachers reaching back into ancient times.

Starting this week we want to present the new Thai-Yoga series
“Ruesi Dutton”
Based on the inscriptions and ascetic statues in the Watpo temple
we developed a unique yoga-like set of stretching techniques.
In ancient times used by hermits to relieve muscle aches after long periods of meditation,
these techniques can help us today to strengthen the body and prevent
tensions and malposition. We will present new techniques regularly, discussing the physical benefits as well as potential risks.

Last weekend 12 couples participated in the Pregnancy Exercise Event at the SC Chetawan Health Center in Kaset-Nawamin Rd.

Traditional Thai treatments and physical exercises can support pregnant women during the 9 months of pregnancy. In the past traditional Thai woman healthcare and midwifery was common knowledge in Thailand. We want to keep this valuable knowledge alive and try to educate mothers and fathers-to-be to use these techniques for their own and the baby's well-being.
Yoga-stretching, gentle Thai massages, herbal compresses and water gymnastics help to stimulate vitality and relax the body at the same time.

A Woman Healthcare Massage course is offered on a weekly basis in Watpo massage school.
