Traditional Thai bodywork is part of the traditional medical system of Thailand, a holistic system that considers each person as whole in the context of their environment. In this system, the mental, energetic and structural aspects of a person are viewed as inseparable.
The techniques found in Traditional Thai Bodywork range from rehabilitative deep-tissue therapies to gentle, nurturing work that calms the mind and body. Most often, sessions at Mala Room will incorporate spot-specific herbal therapies, such as hot compresses and various balms and liniments, and may also include techniques such as Thai fire cupping, Thai scraping and Tok Sen.
