A typical Thai Massage is a two-plus hour treatment of bodywork
that can be modified to extend to three hours or be reduced to an hour. A good place to
start is with Northern Style, as it is easier to accept than the deeper Bangkok
Style.
If you have
injuries, stronger techniques from the Bangkok Style will have to be incorporated at
some point. It is not always pleasant, but quite rewarding when dealing with real
injuries. Doing the Northern Style first will really ease the overall experience of
receiving the deep bodywork of the Bangkok Style.
You can look forward to upon arrival:
- A brief interview regarding your
health.
- Over 2 hours
of the highest quality bodywork, the majority of it focused on opening up the energy
lines of the body.
- Gentle to aggressive stretching, depending on your individual needs.
- If necessary, recommendations on
further treatments and rehabilitaion.
In this
length session, every part of the body, from the feet to the head to the fingertips, is
worked on intelligently and deeply. Most people who have had deep work in the past know
how vital it is for injury repair. It will be quite clear to you as we progress where
you have identifiable adhesions, spasms, etc. I will give you the option of doing
therapy at that point, respecting your wishes.
This first bodywork session is designed to heal any
structural injury that you may have at present safely: you will feel improvements in
range of motion as well as a deep sense of relaxation.
You will most probably feel sore the day after,
perhaps two. The soreness felt is your body beginning to heal itself. Healing and
soreness go hand in hand.
If you are not quite ready for two hour treatment, you can either focus on the
most problematic area of you body or do an abbreviated full body massage.
Each one of these sessions is
approximately one hour:
- Neck, Shoulders, and Arms
- Upper Back and Neck
- The Whole Spine
- Lower Back and Hips
- Hips and Legs
- Knees and Legs
- Ankles and Legs
You can expect to make significant and positive progress in your condition with
any of the above.
One of
these sessions is regularly $150, but it will discounted on the first treatment to $100.
This price is for in-office treatment. Traveling to you will cost more.
At the end of your first session,
we will know much more about your body's individual needs. At that point, we can make
specific suggestions as to what your best course of action may be with respect to
additional bodywork and/or Yoga and Kung Fu exercises to help strengthen
you.
