Excitari Wellness Center, in Medford, will welcome Sebastian Bruno from April 22 to 28,  2023, who will travel from his home in Thailand to lead a seven-day training in Thai medicine and massage at the center. 

Thai Bodywork is rooted in Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM), which is comprised of five roots: internal medicine, external medicine, divinatory sciences, spiritual science and Buddhist medicine.   

Thai bodywork has become increasingly popular, but to fully understand its potential, power and effectiveness, one must understand it in the context of the medicinal system from which it arose. This training will offer the foundation of Thai massage in the context of the Thai healing arts to provide an understanding of the origin and evolution as well as the theory behind the practice. Similar to Ayurveda, TTM uses the five-element theory to understand individuality and diagnose imbalances. As a spiritual practice, it incorporates the Buddhist principles of mindfulness and the divine states of mind. 

As a physical practice, powerful stretches and deep acupressure are applied carefully along the body as a fluid, meditative dance, creating a relaxed supported bodywork that allows a profound sense of space and relaxation, bringing opposites union.   

Location: 30 Jackson Rd., Unit D-101. For more information about this training, call 856-885-2990 or email [email protected].
