I have to take continuing education classes in December, and I am not sure what to pick...so i am going to give you guys the choices. Please let me know what you would like to see me offer.
1) Thai Massage - $80.00/hr
Thai massage is an interactive, full-body treatment on a floor mat that uses acupressure, compression, and yoga-like stretching to improve flexibility, relieve tension, and boost energy. The therapist, clothed, uses their hands, knees, elbows, and feet to move the client through a series of postures while applying pressure to specific points. Unlike many other massages, Thai massage doesn't use oils and is more of an energizing, athletic experience than a purely relaxing one, though it can leave you feeling calm and centered.
What to expect during a session
On a mat: The massage is performed on a padded mat on the floor.
Fully clothed: You remain clothed in loose, comfortable attire.
No oils: Oils and lotions are not typically used in a traditional Thai massage.
Hands-on pressure: The therapist uses their hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet to apply pressure.
Assisted yoga: You are guided through a series of yoga-like stretches and positions.
Deep work: The massage is often vigorous and athletic, intended to release tension and increase range of motion.
Key differences from other massages
Oil-free: Traditional Thai massage uses no oils or lotions.
On the floor: It takes place on a mat on the floor rather than a massage table.
Passive and active: While it involves passive stretching by the therapist, the client's body is actively involved in the positions.
Holistic focus: It combines acupressure, stretching, and spiritual components, aiming to balance the body's energy.
Potential benefits Increased flexibility and mobility, Reduced stress and anxiety, Improved circulation, Relief from muscle tension and pain, and Enhanced sense of well-being.
