Traditional Thai bodywork modalities
These are some of the massage techniques used and mixed at the Sirichan Clinic of Chiang Mai, in order to adapt to each one's body, needs, sensitivity and healing process.
Aroma Oil Therapy
Therapeutic oil massage aims at restoring the muscles capacities to relax, bringing oxygen, improve lymph flow, and allow for further treatment.

Tok Sen
Tok Sen is a unique Lanna therapy given by using a wooden hammer and stick. It sends a rhythmical vibration in the body that allows the targeted area to balance, open and get re-structured. This technique is highly effective on big or overly tense bodies. In ancient times, Tok Sen was applied on farmers coming back from the field for a quick release of their muscular tensions. Today Tok Sen is the perfect therapy for people working hard... at their desk!
