Hello, everyone. I am a new practitioner of thai massage living in St. Louis,
MO. I would like to see what everyone thinks is
the best form of advertising for thai massage for someone who works out of their
home.

Thanks!
Jill Duncan

Hi all!  I am so happy to have found this site. I am a student of Massage
Therapy here in the US. I will be graduating in 4 months. I want to start
my own practice from home and offer only Thai massage. Do you think
Ancientmassage aka Thai massage is the same as Thai Yoga massage?

While I was studying Thai massage at Wat Po in Thailand, none of the
teachers does yoga but again, I found many practitioners called their
practice Thai Yoga massage.  Can  anyone tell me the different?

Thanks,
Chinda

Hi!

I am responding to an email where you asked about a therapist in the
NYC
area who performed ancient massage.  Here I am!  Actually, I am going
on
sept. 4th
to look into relocating.  So, I will go around to check out different
gyms,
spas, hotels seeking such a therapist.  What I perform is definately
unique
and as far as I know, there are few, if any! in NYC who perform such a
technique.  It is called Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy.  My website
is not working right now...it should be back on any day...when it is
back on,  check out www.massagemedicine.com and get
back to me if you would like to meet at some point.  I will be there
until
the 9th.  In the meantime with my site being down, check out
deepfeet.com.  That is the work I do!  =)

Look forward to speaking with you!

Greetings:  Im seeking a nyc massage therapist in the nyc area.
ancient massage or thai massage. thanks

Hello everyone, I am planning to go to chiang mai next week to learn
thai massage.  I am a complete beginner but am seriously thinking
about a carrer change from a totally different profession.  I would
like to study at a seriuos school instead of those intended for
tourist.  Does anyone know of any good school in Chiang mai?  or
anywhere else?  How long should I plan to stay to study?  How are
these schools compared to the ones in the western countries?  Thanks
in advance for any info.

I am looking for a comprehensive video on Thai massage, as well as a
good source for massage mats.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Darren

I learned Thai Massage 2 years ago, and went for more training last
year.  However, since my practice is based primarily on
Swedish/Trigger Point Therapy (been in independent practice for 3
years now), I haven't been doing Thai massage regularly .

Until a few weeks ago.

It's certainly rejuvenating for my clients and myself, and they love
it.  However, I have noticed that I finish my 90 minute routine 10
minutes earlier, and I never ever get through to a 2 hour
session ,because by then I'm done with most positions.  One thing I
have noticed is that during the thumbing of energy lines on the legs,
I may be doing it too fast. So maybe I may be going through the
routine a bit too fast (especially since I'm out of practice maybe).
What is the ryhthm that I can use to remind myself not to go too
fast?  ANy suggestions?

Beth

When thumbwalking the leg lines I tend to use a thumb length distance
between points, if the area or line needs special attention for any
reason (to many to list) then I walk with the thumbs very close
together.

On the low back pain, correct posture is the first thing that comes
to mind. Even if your back is straight there may be other problems,
say you are doing the correct posture for yourself and the client.
Watch/feel how the energy flows through your body and why it
is 'building up' to give you back pain. Possibly your holding your
back or other parts of your body tense, like your shoulders, hips or
legs.

Then again maybe it's not physical at all, something could be
expressing itself in your back pain from an mental/emotional
standpoint or through the way you are using your breath.

Hope you find a solution!

Affectionately,
James

When you're thumb-walking the sen lines of the leg, do
you walk the entire line or just points along the
line? Also, how much pressure do you use?

I tend to walk each of the lines completely with firm
pressure, but I find I have a back ache at the end of
giving each massage from being bent over my client for
so long. Any suggestions?

Mark

Hello Michael! Thanks for the quick
response.<br>I also live in nj very close to montclair, but i am
in nyc three/times/wk. I thought that it would be
easier to find someone in the ancient massage techniques
in a city rather than at my backdoor. isn't it a
small world. Jay

Hello Jay and all other members-Although I have
studied Thai massage I practice a style called Burmese
Style Massage. As they say in Thailand, Burmese style
is "same same but different" from Thai style. I have
been learning this wonderful art from my teacher
Mr.Jan since 1991. Presently I am in Montclair,New
Jersey but I am leaving October 4th to spend the winter
in Thailand and study more of this beautiful art. I
will spend most of my time in Pai. I have been to
Thailand several times. I welcome any suggestions or
recommedations from other members of this club about teachers or
schools or even great guesthouse or places to eat. I will
stay in touch and send an occasional report from the
Royal Kingdom, thanks, michaelinamerica

My name is Robert de Nies and I just dicovered
your site. I would love to visit in Nepal; the last
time I was there was over twenty years ago and I had a
great time then. I have been involved with various
forms of bodywork for over 2 decades. A couple of years
ago I discovered Thai massage and really fell in love
with it. I studied in Thailand with Pichest Boonthume,
right outside of Chieng Mai. To find out more about me
and my work visit my web site at
<a href=http://www.bodymindwork.com target=new>http://www.bodymindwork.com</a>

I have been using Thai Massage in practice for about a year now, having been
educated at Wat Po Traditional Medical School in Bangkok, Thailand last year. My
customers love the results.

I'll be travelling to Chiang Mai in early June to
study Thai Massage. As of yet, I have not settled on a
particular teacher/school. Considering several found in my
research and at the suggestion of some reliable sources.
ITM (Chongkrol Setthakorn), Pinchest Boonthumme, and
Old Medicine Hospital are some that I am considering.
Small class size and a comprehensive/authentic training
are of importance. The instructors should also speak
fair english. Any suggestions regarding these or other
teachers/schools is appreciated...<br><br>Namaste

I went to Wat Po in Bangkok, last fall to take
both Thai massage and advanced Thai healing methods.
The classes were fantastic. I loved everything I
learned, however, I am not finding much interest for this
massage method here in Arizona. What is the interest
level in other areas of the US? How have you been able
to generate more interest?

Hello, Sharma. My name is David and I moved to
Seattle recently, from Los Angeles, where I was a
licenced MT and also a teacher at Touch Therapy Institute.
I have considerable experience in Acupressure,
Reflexology, Sweedish, Deep Tissue, etc. I now consider myself
a touch healer more than anything, but finding
quality MTs to exchange with is difficult at best. It has
been frustrating. Regardless of whether you would be
interested in exchange or not, I would like to hear from
you. My e-mail is gadfly_47@...<br>I have no
experience in Thai but I am sure I can pick it up very
easily thanks to my knowledge in other styles. Namaste,
and farewell. David

where i can find out more about this style of
massage....i love to give massages and am always looking for

Sharma-<br><br>My wife and I recently moved to
Seattle from Philadelphia where we had a massage practice
exclsuively devoted to Thai Massage. Additionaly, we taught
an 80 hour complete course. We studied at the Old
Medicine Hospital in Chiang Mai back in 1996. My wife is a
student at Bastyr (Naturopathy) and is licensed in WA, I
am not yet licensed here. We have some good
information (books etc.) on TM. I would like to know about
your experience with TM. We are living in Capital Hill
and would love to hear more from you and anyone else
in the Seattle area who is interested in trading. My
