Five Bodies Collective

In the Initial Assessment and Therapy you and your therapist will discuss areas of concern, symptoms of dysfunction (pain, tension, restrictions), impact on activities of daily living and desired outcomes. Your therapist will then tailor your session to your needs.Sessions are typically performed on a mat on the floor. Clients remain clothed in loose, comfortable, or stretchy clothing. (We are able to accommodate those unable to get down and up from the floor, as well as offer clothing for those who need or want them.)Your therapist may use thumbs, hands, arms, elbows, knees and feet as needed and where they will be most effective. Sometimes practitioners apply their full body weight in sitting, kneeling and standing techniques as well.As a recipient, you can experience the healing benefits of Thai Massage in a number of ways. Increased flexibility and joint mobility, improved circulation, relaxation, injury recovery, pain reduction, elemental balancing, grounding, and detoxifying, are just some of the expressions used to describe the effects of Thai Massage.Unless otherwise requested, your session may be on a heated mat. Some sessions may include hot herbal compresses, cupping, scraping, and/or balms and liniments. Balms and liniments to take home may be recommended and will be available for purchase.
