Thai Yoga Massage: Palming the Arm
Author:

Coming into palming her arm and this is the
one the side
poses. So first thing I want to do is get her on her side.
Pillow about
middle of the hip right here, move your
hand in the garment just a
little bit so you’d
be comfortable, grab a hold of the
back of the
leg, gently twist her over and we want
her to come all the
way on to her side. Oh, her
neck looks very uncomfortable. So what
we’re going to do, ask her to lift her head, place something underneath the head, a
blanket,
a
pillow, anything that you’ve got to help your client feel comfortable. I’m going to
come in to a nice kneeling diamond here and I’m rarely leaning into her, give her a little
bit of control, lengthening that arm. Now if you’ve got someone that’s really, really
tiny and you got a nice little gap right here, you want to place a
pillow or blanket right
there too to keep your client comfortable. I want to start right here towards the elbows,
gently
press down with the
palm and work it
way up. You can give about three times. Start
right
back towards the
elbow and again, palming. And I’m not, what I’m
kind of doing is pressing
down, down, down, give her a little
stretch and still leaning against her slightly, keep
that connection and again palming towards the middle, out, out. Here, walk it out and
literally
hand to the
wrist,
hand to the shoulder, lengthen that arm. Perfect.
