Pilates By Dena : Thai Yoga Therapy
The traditional massage of Thailand is known as Nuad Bo-Ran. The Thai word for "Nuad" is
translated into English as "massage". Thai Therapy "massage" is performed on a mat on the
floor rather than a raised table. This allows the practitioner to manipulate the body by stretching.
The client may remain fully clothed except for the feet. The clothing should be light and allow for
flexible movement.
The work itself consists primarily of pressure on energy lines and points, and a large variety of
stretching movements. The stretching movements in Thai Massage affect the entire body by increasing
flexibility, releasing both deep and superficial tension, and helping the body's natural energy to
flow more freely.
