Thai Healing Massage Academy – Thai Rocking Massage
This system is part of the Thai Healing Massage family of bodywork. It takes Thai Massage to an entirely new level by adding a new and unique way of applying the traditional pressure and stretching techniques.
Early on in my massage career I discovered that while most of my clients loved Thai Massage, some of them had a hard time with the direct linear pressure and the type of stretching that is used in the traditional style.
They included people who are very pain or pressure sensitive, are very stiff, have conditions that do not permit strong manipulations, and some who just prefer a more gentle approach.
So I developed a system which uses alternative techniques that blend in perfectly with Thai Massage but eliminate potentially painful pressure and stretching moves. The result is Thai Rocking Massage.
How does this system work?
Whereas Thai Massage mostly uses linear pressure on a specific point, Thai Rocking Massage distributes that pressure over a larger area by using circular or rocking movements. This makes it more pleasant to experience even for very sensitive persons. Not only does this system make stretches much easier to handle, it also makes them more effective.
A career saver for therapists
Stress on hands and wrists is a major challenge for massage therapists. This is where this system shines. It enables the therapist to avoid such stress since all the movements are flowing without any of the direct linear pressure that typically causes problems with your joints.
Differences between traditional Thai Massage and Thai Rocking Massage:
Thai Massage uses mostly linear pressure on specific points
Thai Rocking Massage distributes that pressure over a larger area by using circular or rocking movements
Thai Massage applies and holds a stretch
Thai Rocking Massage keeps the body in constant motion without ever holding a stretch
Thai Massage is sometimes perceived as painful or intense
Thai Rocking Massage uses more gentle, pain free and flowing techniques
Thai Massage works on one part of the body at a time
Thai Rocking Massage keeps the entire body in constant motion and affects much more than one specific area
