Table Thai Massage - Passive Stretches

______________________________________________

INTERNATIONALLY ACCREDITED:

FHT (UK / PENDING), FITTM (Italy)

Passive stretches for every part of the client's body in the Supine, Side lying and Prone positions on the massage table.

These stretches are adapted from many diverse modalities including Thai Traditional Massage & Thai Yoga Massage. Although Thai massage is traditionally done on a mat on the floor with the recipient fully clothed, many of the moves, with some changes, can be performed on a massage table.

This type of bodywork is an increasingly popular and requested modality for the work place, corporate and/or industrial settings, health/yoga retreats, health spas, gyms, sports events, and clinical settings. It also complements and can be used in conjunction with a variety of other bodywork modalities.

Therapists will learn how to integrate Thai techniques into their existing practice and how to perform on the massage table with dynamic flowing movements, joint manipulation, rhythmic stretching. Smooth transitions will have you gracefully moving from beside the table to on top of the table to make the most of gravity.

We will explore treatments for low back pain and range-of-motion issues for the neck, shoulders and hips.
