Thai bodywork is often described as "lazy yoga" because the therapist will use their hands, elbows, knees, and feet to move you into a series of stretches. This is different from Swedish or deep tissue massages, which are more focused on relaxation and don't involve as much stretching.

Thai bodywork traditionally uses no oils or lotions and relies on a combination of acupressure and stretching techniques.

You will usually be asked to remove your shoes and clothing before your session. The therapist will then use their hands, elbows, knees, and feet to apply pressure and stretch your muscles. You may be asked to hold onto a rope or towel for support during some of the stretches. Thai bodywork sessions can last anywhere from 60 minutes to 2 hours.

Thai bodywork can help to improve flexibility, increase range of motion, and relieve muscle tension and pain. It can also help to improve circulation and promote a sense of calm and well-being.

Silk Thai Aroma Rituals are typically 60-90 minutes long, and you should expect to feel relaxed and rejuvenated after the treatment.

Aroma rituals use essential oils to maximize the benefits of the bodywork. The benefits of essential oils include reducing stress, improving circulation, and relieving pain. 

During an Aroma Massage, the therapist will add a few drops of oil to the client's skin before beginning the healing touch session. 

Aroma ritual is a gentle form of bodywork, making it suitable for people of all ages. It is also less likely to cause bruising or soreness than other techniques. For these reasons, many people find regular aroma sessions to be an important part of their wellness routine.

Regular bodywork modalities are important for overall health and well-being. They can help to reduce stress, relieve pain, and promote relaxation. In addition, regular massages can also improve circulation, boost immunity, and increase energy levels. 

To improve your health and well-being, start with a bodywork session at one of our Silk Thai Therapy locations. 

While anyone can benefit from the use of Thai herbal compresses, they may be particularly helpful for people who suffer from chronic pain or tension.

A variety of different herbs can be used, depending on the desired effect. Common herbs include lemongrass, kaffir lime, tamarind, ginger and turmeric.

If you have certain allergies or concerns regarding specific herbs, please reach out to us in advance of your appointment. 

The herbs are first selected and then finely chopped or ground. Next, they are placed in a bowl with water and allowed to steep for several minutes. After that, the mixture is strained and the herbs are squeezed to extract as much liquid as possible. Finally, the compress is wrapped in cotton or muslin and steamed for several minutes before being applied to the body.

A compress session usually lasts for 60-90 minutes. For our service list and pricing, please book online.

Thai Tok Sen is unique because it uses a special tool to apply pressure to the body. This makes it different from other types of manual therapies, such as Swedish massage or deep tissue massage.

The sensation of Thai Tok Sen can vary depending on the individual's sensitivity and the specific areas being treated. Some people report feeling a deep sense of calm and relaxation, while others may feel a prickling or tingling sensation along their energy lines.

A typical Thai Tok Sen session lasts for 60-90 minutes. However, the length of the session will depend on the individual's needs and the number of areas being treated.

For most people, one or two sessions every few months is adequate. However, those who are dealing with chronic pain or stress may benefit from more frequent sessions.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as it depends on your individual needs and preferences. However, most people find that regular sessions (once or twice per week) provide the most benefit.

When pressure is applied to the pressure points in the feet, it is believed that this stimulates the corresponding areas of the body. This can help to improve circulation and promote healing.

A foot ritual is a pleasant experience that can be combined with reflexology for added benefits. 

A foot ritual is a great way to relax after a long day, but it can also offer some potential health benefits. Those with diabetes or circulation problems may find that a foot touch technique helps to improve blood flow. In addition, a foot ritual combined with reflexology can be helpful for those who suffer from headaches, anxiety, and even digestive issues. If you have any concerns about whether or not a foot ritual is right for you, be sure to speak with your doctor before booking an appointment.

While the precise origins of Thai reflexology are unclear, it is thought to have arisen from a combination of Chinese and Indian influences. The practice was first recorded in texts dating back to the 13th century, and it has since become a popular form of massage therapy in Thailand. While Thai reflexology shares some similarities with other forms of reflexology, it also features several unique techniques, such as the use of hot compress balls and wooden sticks. As a result, Thai reflexology is often considered to be one of the most effective and relaxing healing touch modalities available.

You can receive healing touch techniques at any time during your pregnancy, whether it be in the first, second, or third trimester. However, the ritual is risky during the first trimester (initial 12 weeks). If possible, make sure you have your PCP's approval before receiving any bodywork or using any medications during this time.

A typical pregnancy ritual will last for 60-90 minutes and will involve gentle, slow strokes on the back, neck, shoulders, and legs. Some bodywork specialists may also use light pressure and/or warm compresses on the lower back or abdomen. 

The pregnancy ritual is based on the same principles as Swedish massage, but there are a few key differences. For one, pregnancy ritual is performed with the woman in a side-lying position, rather than lying on her back. This helps to avoid putting pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in the pelvis, which can be problematic during pregnancy. In addition, pregnancy ritual uses lighter pressure and more strokes than Swedish massage, and the bodywork specilist will avoid any areas that may be painful or uncomfortable for the pregnant woman.

Jade is a semi-valuable stone that is most esteemed in China.

Jade is the only healing stone that can hold both heat and cold equally well. One stroke with a heated jade stone is equivalent to seven strokes by hand. The combination therapy acts much like a vascular flush, comparable to hydrotherapy and thermotherapy. It increases circulation and flushes the internal organs and circulatory system, helping eliminate toxins from the body. Your treatment begins with a warm foot bath for hygiene reasons and to improve blood circulation.

There are two kinds of jade – nephrite and jadeite. Jadeite is the gemstone utilized in adornments and nephrite is the kind of jade utilized in kneading.

Each jade stone is mined, cut, molded, and cleaned. It can take a craftsman as long as 8 hours to appropriately shape and clean one jade stone for the rub.
