Why I love Thai massage- It requires the practitioner to have both excellent mobility and stability to get into certain postures. You have to be comfortable deep-squatting, in tall and half-kneeling, have excellent shoulder stability, and have good control of your spine through strong abdominals. If you dont have optimal control of these positions, the massage wont feel as good to the receiver, and your back and knees will get achey. With good body mechanics, not only will your massage be better quality, but your career will last much longer. Even though Thai massage requires specific physical strength, stamina and flexibility of the practitioner, the focus on good body mechanics, alignment, stretching with gravity, and mindful breath can actually help the practitioner develop the very qualities it requires. https://amtamassage.org/articles/3/MTJ/detail/2943
