Restorative Thai Massage in Chicago
Fabrizio Sonny LeNoir, Certified Thai Bodywork Therapist
Thai massage has been developed since 450B.C. and has its roots in Ayurvedic & Yogic medicine from India and Chinese Merdian Theory. Together this very thorough system has been developed in Thailand and has been practiced from the villages to the Royal Grand Palace of Thailand and passed down in the true family tradition of healers.
Thai massage has been proven to be very effective in:
- relieving stress
- arthritis symptoms & treating muscle knot pain using trigger points
- improving range of motion
It also invigorates the circulation and metabolism by working with the breath and stimulating energy meridians that in Thailand are referred to as Sen Lines.

What to expect:
- Wear loose-fitting clothing like you might wear for a work out or yoga class. Thai massage does not require you to undress.
- Thai massage is typically a more intense experience than another kind of massage. The goal is to work out muscle knots through releasing trigger points and improve range of motion, blood flow and flexibility through physical manipulation.
- Expect Fabrizio to ask for feedback and to give him a number of how intense the activity is feeling on a scale from 1 to 10. 1 being the least intense and 10 most intense. The experience is controlled by you and he will check in with you regularly to insure the best result.
- Some soreness is to be expected after any type of bodywork - Fabrizio works with you to let go of holding patterns that can keep you in pain and resisting during the process so post-session soreness is kept to a minimum.
- Be sure to shower and hydrate beforehand to have a productive session.
We subject ourselves to constant repetive motion in demanding environments. The residual tension from both physical and mental activity resides in our bodies until we learn to let it go.
