Thai Bodywork is a form of massage and energy work. It uses conscious touch, stretches, range of motion and other techniques to affect the whole energy system to relieve pain and restore balance.
What are some benefits of Thai Bodywork? 1. Reduced Stress levels

Too much stress can negatively affect mental and physical health. Chronic, or long-lasting, stress can lead to serious illnesses, including depression and cardiovascular disease.
2. Boosts energy
Research has shown that Thai massage can increase people’s physical energy levels. One examined the effects of Thai massages in people who were experiencing fatigue. The results revealed that Thai massage increased energy and mental stimulation.
The theory suggests that tight muscles cause blockages within different Sen. These blockages reduce the flow of life energy, which results in stiffness, pain, and illness. Thai massage uses different techniques that either open or constrict different Sen to correct the flow of life energy.
3. Relieves headaches
One 2015 study found Thai massage is an effective treatment for people who have chronic tension headaches.
4. Stimulates circulation
Thai massage can promote the circulation of both blood and lymph through the use of gentle stretches. These yoga-like stretches increase blood circulation, which fills the body’s tissues with oxygen. This helps promote cell growth and heart health.
5. Improves range of motion
Thai massage incorporates stretches to reduce stress and improve circulation. The gradual, gentle stretching will enhance the person’s flexibility over time, allowing a greater range of motion.
