Thai
Massage has been put forth by professional publications
in recent months as one of the foremost emerging trends
in therapeutic bodywork. This national media attention
has increased public awareness and demand for this unique
work. All the relaxation benefits of Yoga are available
via Thai Massage, combined with the additional features
of spinal and joint mobilization. The therapist has
access to deep tissues that would otherwise be nearly
impossible to treat, and clients report having increased
energy levels and a reduced or eliminated need for pain
management after having experienced Thai Massage.
New clientele
demographics open up with Thai Massage. Because no oils
are used and the work is done fully clothed, the barrier
of body image is greatly diminished and the issue of
oils on skin, hair and clothing is eliminated. Although
taught as a floor technique, over 50% of the Thai Massage
movements can easily be modified for table use to enhance
your existing practice. Existing clients will stay interested
and engaged--a valuable asset in an increasingly competitive
marketplace. Body workers love the effect of Thai Massage
on their income as well; the increased duration of the
massage makes more efficient use of their time while
increasing their earning potential with an expanded
client base
