The style of Traditional Thai medicine we practice is called Gaai Ya Paap Bam Bat or Folk Physical Therapy. This form of Thai bodywork has many influences - Therevada Buddhist practices, Indian, Chinese, and Thai shamanic folk healing. Thai massage sessions focus on clearing 10 main Sen (energy lines), which cover all muscle groups and organs. Thai massage is performed with the client wearing comfortable, loose-fitted clothing while lying on thick mat on the floor. Traditionally, Thai sessions last a minimum of 90 minutes and no oils or lotions are used. Using a blend of element-based techniques/philosophy, compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure, the therapist uses her hands, elbows, forearms, knees, and feet to preform passive yoga poses to you. Thai massage offers a mind-body-spirit approach that western massage does not. Throughout our practice at True Bleu Healing Arts we approach healing the body with the basic fundamentals of Nuad Boran (traditional Thai healing). Like the Reusi, our focus is of health, longevity, luck and metta (loving kindness).
