OSTEO THAI…
WHAT IS IT ?
Osteo Thai is the meeting of traditional Thai massage and osteopathy, a bridge between East and West. It’s a form of bodywork that combines extraordinary Thai massage techniques with the precise and gentle touch of osteopathy.
HOW IS IT PRACTISED ?
Osteo Thaï is practised on the floor; the patient wears light comfortable clothing. The masseur uses not only his hands but also his feet, knees and elbows. This makes for a rich and colourful approach.
WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF ?
Osteo Thai combines :
- Traditional Thai massage’s varied and powerful stretches, using long leverage techniques across muscle groups (inspired by yoga postures), and its acupressure work on energy lines.
- Osteopathy’s release of tissue tension and work on structural and joint mobility.
WHO’S IT FOR…?
… the patient !
Osteo thaï approaches the human being as a global entity, with physical, emotional, energetic and spiritual sides.
… you !
A unique and original form of bodywork, it offers a new approach in treatment for the practitioner.
Osteo Thai is also a chance to take care of yourself : a harmonious dance of meditative practise and yoga for two, it maintains your own body’s state of health too.
