Oriental Bodywork Oriental Bodywork is a flowing treatment that combines traditional Thai and Indonesian Massage. Traditional Thai massage is a form of bodywork that balances the body’s intrinsic energy (chi). It is best described as applied Yoga, as the practitioner uses sustained stretches and deep presses to stimulate the flow of chi through the Sen channels (energy pathways. This is an holistic treatment that stretches every muscle, raises energy levels and encourages deep relaxation. The secret of Thai massage lies in its unique ability to press and stretch every muscle of the body using the varied body positions of practitioner and recipient. This will leave you feeling relaxed, supple and energised. Traditional Indonesian massage is a deep, flowing oil treatment with techniques that work across the muscles to release tension and induce deep relaxation. Oriental Bodywork is an effective treatment for back/neck/shoulder pain, chronic fatigue, loss of flexibility, stress related problems, and sciatica.
