From the MASSAGE Magazine article, "Body in Balance: Thai Massage," by Anthony James, N.D., in the June 2009 issue. Article summary: In Thai massage, the entire body is pushed, pressed, rocked, vibrated and rhythmically compressed by virtually every part of the therapist’s body—hands, feet, elbows, knees, forearms and shins. The therapist, at times, will stand and sit fully on the client with complete balance and control, guiding and manipulating the client to realign with either internal or external alignments.
