Thai Massage in Noosa

Thai massage is a blend between acupressure, yoga, and zen shiatsu and is inspired by Buddhist teachings. Thai massage consists of a technique that uses slow, rhythmic compression and stretches along the body's energy lines, also called sen in Thai.
Over 70,000 sen are said to exist within the body, and Thai massage concentrates on applying pressure along 10 of the most important sen using the palms of the hands, thumbs, elbows, and feet. The effort from the practitioner works to free tension within the body. Practitioners also position the body into yoga-like poses and gently rock the body to more deeply open joints and facilitate limbering. Slow rhythm is maintained. Deep, sustained pressure ensures that the the muscle's connective tissue, soften and relax in order to release the flow of energy along the sen, and to prepare the client for the large-scale stretches that follow.
