Eastern modalities
Thai Massage uses yogic stretching and mobilizing techniques from Traditional Thai Medicine. Thai massage incorporates a sense of exploration into new movement pathways.
Shiatsu uses compressions and acupoints to restore balance to the 5 elements, according to traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine theories. Regarding the body as a microcosm of the universe, these teachings provide insight into patters of health and disease.
These modalities are traditionally performed on padded floor mats and through comfortable clothing.
