We will bring you the ancient learnings from Thai Massage and the approach from Osteothai and Osteopathy

1_ OSTEOTHAI 

Osteothai integrates osteopathic principles and techniques into Thai massage, serving as a bridge between Eastern and Western practices. This form of bodywork blends the extraordinary, creative, and powerful techniques of Thai massage with the precise and gentle touch characteristic of osteopathy.

• Osteothai combines: 

  • The varied and powerful stretches of traditional Thai massage, utilizing long leverage techniques across muscle groups (inspired by yoga postures), its acupressure work on energy lines, and the dynamic creativity of traditional Thai massage movements. 

  • The osteopathic approach to releasing tissue tension and addressing restrictions in mobility.

Some of the subjects that we will be addressing during this training will be:

• Internal Organs

• Lower Back Issues

• Breathing - Diaphragm motion

• Neck - Shoulder area

• Craneo Sacral System

All my life I have been interested in the body and movement.

The Diploma in Physiotherapy in 2006 gave me the foundations for the path that followed: Thai Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Chinese Medicine, AcroYoga, Yoga & Movement, and Osteopathy. This is what you can find in my teachings. I feel like an eternal student of the human being, of anatomy, physiology... and also of his philosophy and values and I share what I love and learn the most.

For me, Thai massage is meditation, dance, and healing. It gives me the opportunity to flow, to be present, to create, to communicate without words.

Along this path, my passion for Thai Massage and Osteothai has been growing thanks to teachers like Dayalu, Laurino Bertell, KrishnaTakis, and David Lutt (whom I have been assisting for years) and Jörg Schürpf I graduated with Master OsteoThai.

Currently, I am still studying Osteopathy. I have been sharing workshops and training in Spain and Europe since 2008, and since 2018 giving therapies and training next to Granada where I live mostly with Sharon and our 3 children Alma and Kailu at @cortijoalegria

I have a passionate and therapeutic teaching style and cultivate joy as much as I can in the trainings I teach.

For me, my work is about the endless exploration of body and mind and, a way to discover the beauty of life. As we become aware of what is happening inside and where we are in the present moment, the body is alienated to release what it is holding. Then we can embark on a journey of restoration and transformation.
