Table Yoga thai massage

During the last weekend, I did one of the course for my continuous education. It was a table yoga thai massage course with Shai Plonsky.
This kind of massage is a bit different than what I am usually used to do as technics. To start with, we do this massage with the client fully clothed. I recommend you, though, to have some confortable and stretchy clothes, because even if you are gonna still have that relaxing effect, there is a lot of movement included in this type of massage. With the mix of yoga technics and the thai ones, it is a lot of passive strectching and technics to help the right flow of energy through the body.
It might not be the typical technics that we usually do, but it does have its effect on muscle. Some of the technics will take you to a range of motion that might surprise you(I was surprise of where the other RMT was able to bring my affected hip in the range of motion). As well, we do use a thai massage reflexology stick to massage the feet. So if you are ticklish and couldn't have your feet massage, it could be a way to have them(some of my ticklish patients and other RMT in the course were able to get a foot massage and actually be able to keep calm).
I am now certified to give a hour table yoga thai massage. If you are interested of trying one, I can provide one that is up to an hour at the usual 60 minutes price. I will still use during therapeutic and relaxation massage the yoga thai technics for the feet. I am really happy to have learn those new technics and now have an alternative to be able to do a massage for client that are not confortable of taking their clothes off but need a massage.
To finish this post, I will say how it did feel as a giver and a receiver of a table yoga thai massage: relxation through movement!
