DYNAMIC THAI MASSAGE
A gentle type of Thai Massage inducing a deep state of relaxation
Rocking, harmonious, meditative movements ○ Dynamic stretches ○ Acupressure
Origins and Therapy
Dynamic Thai Massage (also called Rocking Thai Massage) is a unique flavor of Thai massage involving gentle rocking and repetitive (at times continuous), harmonious movements, dynamic stretches, acupressure, joint mobilization and traction of different body parts. Inspired by Ajanh Chaiyuth Priyasith, one of the most prominent traditional Thai massage teachers of the 20th century from Chiang Mai, this massage therapy is a true meditation in movement that allows one to restore mobility and experience a profound sense of relaxation on a physical and psychological level by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system through a listening, kind, and grounded touch.
Dynamic Thai Massage is a clothed massage therapy requiring no oil. It is performed on a mat placed on the floor to promote free movement and flow, with each session typically taking 2 hours to complete. Each part of the body is slowly rocked by using waving, fluid movements, punctuated with localized stretches and a selection of acupressure sequences intended to suit any individuals. This gentle and mindful approach is especially suitable for inducing a deep state of relaxation and well-being, alleviating physical tensions, releasing negative emotional energies and blockages, improving body awareness, and restoring balance and harmony within the body and the mind. Akin to a mother cradling her baby, this poetic dance combines the elements of Fire and Water to allow one to surrender, feel free, and go deeper into their healing journey.
Benefits
Dynamic Thai Massage is designed to offer multiple physical, psychological and energitical benefits that can be quickly experienced by those receiving the therapy. The positive effects and improvements resulting from this type of massage contribute to the alleviation of tension and blockages, ease of muscular pain, and recovery of injuries. It is especially beneficial for individuals having a hard time relaxing, that are sensitive, or have a limited range of motion.
