Why Thai?

Some people may wonder why Thai (aka-Mobility) massage is my most favorite modality to give and receive. I trust this post will fill the curious minds. 😊

The Thai massage or Mobility massage as I like to call it is more of a “functional” massage. I’m finding time and time again that my clients are having a “function” returned to them after the session that they were struggling with before the session. My regular clients are also reporting that the results of the massage are lasting much longer than the traditional table massage.

This type of bodywork is interactive. When I check in with the client and they give me feedback, we work together as a team to achieve the greatest outcome for the client.

So, what’s the difference between this bodywork and a “spa” type massage? Several differences: there’s no hot towels, oils or cream, no hot stones and no dis-robing. We have a sheet covered mat on the floor, a pillow, bolsters, and blankets for support and comfort. Oh, and my sacred tapping tools are often used! We start with gentle pressure as we open the energy lines, removing stagnation & blockages. Then we move into the most effective stretching, muscle compressions, and tissue melting for your specific needs that session.

Each session may be very different. It’s always tailored to what you need in that particular space & time.

There’s a time & space for the “spa” type massage if you want pampering. If you have mobility functions that need restoring or tight tissue that needs melting & stretching, then the Thai massage is time well spent!
