Professional Resume:
My name is Dan Krueger. I am a graduate of an 800 hour program at East West College of the Healing Arts. I am nationally certified, a member of the American Massage Therapy Association as well as licensed to practice in the state of Oregon. I've been practicing for five years and a licensed practitioner for three. I am trained in a variety of modalities including Traditional Thai Massage, Second Degree Reiki, Swedish Massage, Myofacial release, and Shiatsu. However the reason I became a Massage Therapist was to practice Nuad Boran (Traditional Thai Yoga Massage). I continue to study Thai Yoga Massage on a regular bases. It is my passion. Thai Yoga Massage has deeply become my favorite modality to practice and to receive as well. I wish to share the healing benefits of Thai Yoga Massage with you.
I highly recommend a one and a half or two hour Traditional Thai Yoga Massage session. The healing benefits are truly amazing.
Company Description:
Traditional Ancient Thai massage is a unique form of Bodywork that incorporates Hatha Yoga, acupressure and reflexology with origins dating back about 2500 years. The roots of Thai massage are traced back to the founder of the practice (known as "Father Doctor") Shivaga Komarpaj, a doctor, friend and contemporary to the historical Buddha. Ancient Medical texts were carved in stone in attempts to preserve the tradition of Thai massage; the stone inscriptions still sit within the walls of the Wat Pho temple in Bangkok. In Thailand, there are many agricultural people who do a lot of physical work through the day and their muscles become very tight and sore, so they teach their children massage skills they learned from their parents. In this way Thai massage is passed down as an oral tradition. Massage has a unique style in each area of Thailand. When people would gather together from different regions they would exchange their techniques of massage. In this same way influences came from other countries such as China, India, Burma and Tibet creating its evolution and development.
