Thai Acupressure can be incorporated into all styles of bodywork. It is practiced on a mat on the floor and the client usually dressed in loose comfortable clothing. The practitioner uses hands, elbows, fingers, knees and feet and at times other tools as in Haeek (Guwaha) or Tok Sen to work the lines and points. Oil is also sometimes used on the skin. The line and point formulas in Thai Acupressure can be effectively worked whether you practice Thai Massage or any other style of bodywork from Tui Na to Deep Tissue to Swedish massage.
Thai or Acu-Yoga integrates acupressure and yoga. Both relax muscular tension and balance the vital life forces of the body. Each Acu-Yoga posture naturally presses and stretches certain nerves, muscles, and acupressure points, awakening the meridians and releasing the tension in the points so that energy (chi) can circulate freely.
