Thai therapy and healing sounds

Classical Tai therapy occurs through the use of direct pressure on the muscles combined with stretching, which stimulates the musculoskeletal system, including the joints, bones, nerve endings, tissues and lymphatic system of the body. Massage is applied to the entire body through clothing!

Combined with sound therapy from a Tibetan bowl and other therapeutic tools, the massage leads to a state of complete relaxation.

The effect of the massage lasts for days after its application.

Pregnancy

During pregnancy, the female body undergoes changes, some of which are the cause of stress and discomfort. Through the application of massage with gentle movements using palms and thumbs, the body is relaxed, nerves are stimulated and the function of internal organs is improved. It mainly works on the energy lines that cover the problem areas that have appeared as a result of pregnancy.

The inclusion of sound in therapy reduces the stress hormone and creates a prerequisite for a happy pregnancy and a calm baby.

The massage is applied in the following positions – supine, side lying and sitting. During the massage procedure the client is wearing light and comfortable clothes.

Children

The therapy is extremely useful for hyperactive children, anxiety, lack of concentration and attention deficit, as well as inertia, low self-esteem and depression. Regular massage has a very good effect on back and lower back pain caused by incorrect posture caused by carrying heavy backpacks and sitting on a desk for long periods of time. The therapy helps to maintain a satisfactory level of focus, calms the mind, thereby improving general well-being.

Gong sessions

Gong sound therapy helps resolve emotional and physical dissonance.

This ancient instrument produces a strong sound wave, almost palpable to the touch, that stimulates the physical body, affecting every cell. The sound penetrates so deeply to levels that cannot be reached with any other massage than sound.

During the session, a wide range of therapeutic tools are used to induce a state of semi-sleep and deep relaxation.
