Thai or Yoga Massage

Thai yoga bodywork and massage is a unique, holistic healing technique that blends elements of assisted yoga stretching, rhythmic compression, and energy line work to promote physical and emotional well-being. Rooted in ancient healing traditions, Thai massage supports the flow of energy throughout the body and encourages deep relaxation, improved mobility, and natural healing.

At Heather’s Balancing Touch in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, we offer authentic Thai yoga massage sessions designed to relieve tension, increase flexibility, and bring the body back into balance. This technique is ideal for those seeking a non-oil, fully clothed, hands-on experience that promotes deep release through guided movement and pressure.

What to Expect During a Thai Massage Session

Unlike traditional Western-style massages, Thai massage is performed fully clothed on a supportive floor mat — not a massage table. During your session, Heather will use a combination of:

• Gentle stretching similar to yoga poses

• Targeted pressure applied along energy lines (called Sen)

• Rhythmic compression using the hands, thumbs, elbows, forearms, and sometimes feet

• Rocking and pulling motions to release stress and tension
  
  

This full-body approach supports the balance of energy pathways, encourages blood flow and lymphatic drainage, and can leave you feeling both deeply relaxed and energized.

Benefits of Thai Yoga Bodywork

What to Wear

For your Thai massage session at Heather’s Balancing Touch, please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for stretching. Long pants (not yoga pants or shorts) and a breathable shirt are ideal. You’ll remain fully clothed throughout the entire session.

A Practice Rooted in History

Thai massage traces back over 2,500 years, with its origins attributed to Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, a renowned physician and friend to the Buddha. This ancient technique is considered one of the core branches of traditional Thai medicine, combining Ayurvedic principles with influences from Chinese acupuncture and yoga.
