what is thai yoga massage?

Around 2000 years ago Thai Massage was brought from India to Thailand along with Buddhism. it was first introduced in the United States in 1990. Its ancient origins are linked to Yoga, Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Thai Yoga Massage is an expression of "metta" compassion toward oneself and others. Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient sacred bodywork that incorporates rhythmic motion, energy line work, gentle stretching and assisted yoga postures into a comprehensive healing modality, Thai Yoga Massage combines the best of yoga and massage; it is performed on a mat in comfortable clothing and is customized to the needs and wants of each person. It can provide amazing results to reduce stress, ease discomfort and create profound feelings of relaxation.

Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage, because the practitioner uses her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Thai massage is like doing yoga without any work.

Muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure are also used during treatment.
