For the second year in a row, Bodywork Professionals has chosen Wellspring, an agency working to end relationship and sexual abuse in Saratoga County, as the recipient of donations for its “Try Thai” short-format massage sessions.
All money donated by participating clients goes directly to the Wellspring charity, the company said.
Rebecca Morris, a Thai yoga massage practitioner for the past nine years, will be offering 30-minute sampler sessions at Bodywork’s 11 Spring Street location from 1-5 p.m. on Thursday, May 25.
“Thai yoga massage is a comfortable introduction to bodywork for many people. The client wears loose clothing and lies on a floor mat and the therapist gently administers stretches and range of motion techniques on the whole body. It’s useful for athletes, helps those with back and hip pain, and fine for pregnant women as well,” said Nick Pavoldi, owner of Bodywork Professionals. “Teenagers and college students—with their heavy school backpacks and tight necks and shoulders from frequent use of technology—can also benefit.”
“A full Thai yoga massage session is usually 60 to 90 minutes,” said Morris. “In this shorter session, I will do a range of motion assessment and then focus on a trouble spot. A half-hour appointment allows people to drop in at lunchtime, during afternoon errands, or after work. It’s not a huge time investment.”
To schedule an appointment for the Try Thai session, call 557-5514.
