About Lotus Palm Thai Yoga Massage
The lotus is the symbol of loving-kindness and compassion. "Palming" is a technique used in Thai Yoga Massage. Lotus Palm means "the compassionate touch" which is the sprit of this work.
Kam Thye Chow created the Lotus Palm method teaches a form of Thai Massage specifically designed for westerners. People in the West generally spend more time sitting, driving and on their computers. People in the East tend to use their lower bodies more. Such cultural variations encourage different areas of flexibility and overuse in the body. The usual Thai Yoga Massage focuses 75% on the lower body. The Lotus Palm method consequently focuses equal attention to lower and upper body.
