Acupressure and Thai massage

Anyone out there practicing either acupressure or Thai massage? I have been doing acupressure and tuina for many years, but only recently started learning Thai massage. I have a lot of influence from the Chinese systems, and its interesting to compare how Thai massage works with the meridians versus the traditional Chinese styles. Overall I would have to say that the Chinese tend to emphasize massaging the symptomatic areas, whereas the Thai focus on the whole meridian system. Any ideas on when… Continue

The Doctor as a Placebo

A small bit of discussion around my last post brought to mind cardiologist Bernard Lown's book, "The Lost Art of Healing". I recalled Lown's story of a very sick cardiology patient who, upon overhearing that his heart was galloping, felt the way open to getting better. Not knowing that galloping was a not particularly good sign, he decided that if his heart was good enough to gallop then it… Continue

Feelin Great in Thailand

I've been living in Thailand for 1 year now, and have learned some truly amazing massage techniques. Before moving here I lived in China, and have studied acupressure, tuina, and acupuncture. I have practiced acupuncture for 11 years but since moving to Thailand I have taken more interest in massage.

Yippie, today I'm going to take the first step in producing a short video clip on Thai massage. Been waiting a while to do this.

Roles of muscles

When muscles are first learned, it is classically the concentric (shortening) contractions that are first learned. Unfortunately, this is often as far as many students progress when learning about the musculoskeletal system. If a snapshot were taken at any one instant in time during a motion pattern, less than half of the contractions that are occurring in the body would actually be concentric contractions of movers (agonists). There are also the eccentric contractions of antagonists and the… Continue

business boosting advice

I am a newer massage business owner in Delaware and while I have had a decent amount of clients since I started I am always working to build my clientele up, but I have been running into several. My services are mobile in that I travel to the client to provide the services.

The section of Delaware that I am from and that I mostly cover… Continue

Thanksgiving Thanks

It’s that time of the year when a lot of people pause to give thanks for those things they are grateful for. I need to throw in my two cents.

A few months ago when I checked in at the AMTA National Convention in Orlando, I was thrilled when I opened my registration packet and found that instead of just my name badge, some kind soul had put the word “PRESS” in big letters underneath my name. To whomever that was, thank you.

Since I have been blogging about the politics of… Continue
