Thai Yoga Massage for lower back pain

Support, Mobility, Release – The lower back is central to our sense of support and stability, yet it is also an area that can become easily overburdened. Long hours of sitting, stress, repetitive movements, or injury can contribute to pain and stiffness. Thai Massage offers a dynamic, whole-body approach to working with lower back discomfort, addressing not just the site of pain but the wider patterns of tension and restriction that often surround it.

The Art of Rocking and Harmonics: Rhythm, Release and Renewal

Rhythm, Movement, Fluidity – Life is movement, and rhythm forms its essential foundation. Through dynamic, oscillatory, and rocking techniques, we can invite a sense of flow and playfulness into the body and into life itself. Modern living often creates patterns of tension and rigidity in the body, leaving us disconnected from our natural rhythms. This can result in restricted movement, stress, and an overburdened nervous system.

Restoring vitality in the internal organs

The abdomen is the centre of our body, physically and energetically, and we even call it the second brain. It should not get forgotten in our treatments. Tension in and around the abdomen is often the reason for lower back pain, pelvic problems or digestive issues. Many people hold their emotional tension, habitual protective patterns and unprocessed trauma in this area.

In this workshop we will explore tools and techniques of visceral manipulation as well as the Eastern perspective of the Hara. And we will cultivate a deeper level of presence to help us connect with this usually more sensitive part of our Being. ​

Restoring grounding, balance & mobility

Feet, legs, hips – through our lower extremities we connect to the earth, but we also move forwards in life. Due to modern lifestyle influences (like narrow shoes, sitting on chairs all day etc), we lose a lot of our innate intelligence in our feet and legs, as well as mobility and vitality. This leads to balance issues, inflammation, stagnation, and often lower back pain.

​In this workshop we will explore tools and techniques to restore movement and mobility, balance and joint integrity. We will also look at releasing the blocked energy around the joints to allow the receiver’s body to gain vitality and to use it for more effective healing. By bringing attention to the feet, we also establish a sense of grounding and safety, from where life can be expressed more freely.

Through the lens of the Vagus Nerve

This workshop is for floor-based bodyworkers (Thai Yoga Massage, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic massage etc) and Yoga therapists, or if you work with hands-on adjustments and touch, and are increasingly attracting clients dealing with more complex issues, such as pain, chronic conditions or trauma. You are working with people who are looking for support in their personal healing and growth process. These people are in need of more than just a relaxing treatment or a good stretch. This is where we need to understand and work directly with the Autonomic Nervous System and the Vagus Nerve.

Freeing the heart space

The heart space is the centre of our compassion and emotion, and deserves special care and attention in our treatments. So often people carry a heavy heart and feel actual pain and pressure. Grief, loneliness, separation, unprocessed trauma can lead to strong habitual protective patterns around the heart. So much so, it will effect people’s posture and breathing and lead to lack of mobility in the shoulders, arms and neck.

In this workshop we will explore tools and techniques to free up the whole upper thorax and back and restore the vitality of heart and lungs. And we will cultivate a deeper level of presence to help us connect with this usually more sensitive part of our Being.
