Northern Thai Walking Massage

Walking Massage is one of the traditional therapeutic methods used by Nooy in her treatments. It allows the practitioner to work deeply while using body weight, balance, rhythm, and precise pressure rather than muscular effort.

Students learn how to apply Walking Massage safely and effectively, especially for larger, stronger, or heavily built bodies.

Areas of focus include:

• back
• hipsl
• legs
• lower body tension patterns
• preparation of the body before deeper therapeutic work

Students also learn how Walking Massage can help prepare the body before working with common complaints such as lower back tension, leg tightness, abdominal tension, and general stiffness.

Body Balancing & Bone Setting Foundations

The second part of the week introduces students to the foundations of Body Balancing & Bone Setting as practiced at Sirichan.

The aim is not to teach a full bone setting protocol within one week. Instead, students learn how to recognize stiffness, restrictions, and areas of imbalance, and how to apply selected techniques to help release blocks that may not respond fully to massage alone.

Areas of focus may include:

• neck
• shoulders
• back
• hips
• knees
• ankles
• elbows
• wrists
  
  

Students are introduced to practical ways of working with the body as a whole, while respecting safety, comfort, and therapeutic limits.
