What is Thai Yoga Body Therapy?
Thai Yoga Body Therapy is an ancient and sacred bodywork that incorporates rhythmic motion, energy meridian work through acupressure, gentle stretching, and assisted yoga posturing. Thai Yoga Body Therapy is performed on a mat on the floor where both client and practitioner are dressed in comfortable clothing allowing ease of movement and flexibility.
Thai Yoga Body Therapy sessions are ideal to:
Increase blood flow, joint flexibility, and range of motion.
Break up adhesion and reduce rigidity in muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments.
Relieves muscular tension.
Speed up the regeneration after a sports activity.
How can Thai Yoga Body Therapy improve my golf game?

Common problems for golfers are injuries or strains of the back, hand, wrists, shoulders, and knees. All of those body parts acting together are critical to a good golf swing.
By employing Thai Yoga Body Therapy stretching techniques that mobilize muscle energy I can maximize your range of motion and flexibility.
This increase in range of motion and flexibility can have significant impact on the 3 main components of your swing – the back-swing, contact point and follow through.
The Back-swing – Thai Yoga Body Therapy techniques will increase hip, shoulder and neck rotation through increased flexibility. This increased range of motion allows you to develop more power to the contact point. The techniques will also relieve tightness in your back and neck improving your focus on the point of contact.
The Contact Point – the increased range of motion and focus developed in the backs-wing directly translates to increase club speed and improvements in contact. As the swing progresses through the contact point, the improved flexibility in the hips and shoulders will transfer more power to the club face improving both distance and accuracy.
The Follow Through – improved flexibility and range of motion in the hips, torso and shoulders translates to a more relaxed finish to your swing. This relaxed finish allows you to fully release the energy developed in the back-swing through the contact point in a controlled manner reducing the potential for muscle strain or injuries throughout the torso, hips and knees.
Thai Yoga Body Therapy relieves the tightness in your back and back of the neck allowing you to focus better during your tee time.

Furthermore, it improves your range of motion during your swings. One of the biggest benefits of a Thai Yoga Body sessions, it relaxes the upper and lower part of your back muscles, which makes you more flexible when rotating your body and it relieves the pain in the lower part of your back connected to the repetitive movements.
Thai Yoga Body Therapy should be done well before a tee time-- at least 48 hours is ideal. If you get one right before a round, you might be too sore to play, or your muscles won't perform optimally!
A regular Thai Yoga Body session improves not only your game but it is also increases your flexibility!
