RVGRINGO Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I hear that it is statistically difficult to find a Thai for you to massage in Mexico. 😮 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Probably you won't find someone doing something this specialized in Lakeside but you might in Guadalajara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 There is someone locally who does Thai massage but I don't have the contact info. On Monday call Victor Youcha @ 766-1973 to get the contact info. Victor has been treated by the guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafemediterraneo Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I know Bob and he is always looking to learn new techniques . He is an extremely knowledgeable person himself about chiropractic and massage theory and practice. I'll be on the lookout for you in June, Bob.

rafterbr Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 The Thai massage I remember, the girl walks up and down your back using her toes to work on your spinal cord. The first time I selected the prettiest girl the second time the smallest. Ha ha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a guy who lived in Thailand .. Thai massage is kind of a joke. There's one reason I know of why a young Thai girl works in a massage parlor. It's not like they attend some century's-old Kama Sudra college high in the mountains where you arrive by elephant, climb a rope ladder to enter a dimly lit bat-infested cave and learn from Buddhist masters and study by candle light and burning incense and worship monkeys in you down time, bathe in avocado/coco water and meditate for 6 months while fasting. The mamasan teaches them, and there isn't all that much to teach; what to do and what to charge. Same in China from what I know. The Japanese I'd guess run a little classier operation. If its a "special " massage with a happy ending I can imagin why you'd rather have a woman masseuse, but each type of theraputic massages has different techniques and results. Many people have learned and are excellent at giving massages in these different styles. Which one does it for you is a personal choice,but I wouldn't prejudge according to gender or ethnicity....

It's easy to tell a real masseuse from the handlers .. over-developed arm and shoulder muscles. Now thats funny JT, the word is rolfing. Ralphing is a slang word for vomiting. We have a Rolfer here at Lakeside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Actually a Thai massage is a stretching massage. They stretch every part of your body and a good one can take 2 hours. The back walking is optional but the best ones come with it. It is for both men and women and many of the stretches are yoga like. I received mine in a real massage house not a excuse for one as Jonny alludes to. Most of the women had really long toes almost like fingers and they can really give your back vertebrae a good work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 In my several trips to Thailand I have found the people to be warm and friendly. The country is fast becoming a favorite to retire to. The Thai massage is a legitimate massage not like the Viet Nam War days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsf Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 To be clear I teach at 2 schools in San Francisco. One of then is a Thai School. We offer a 500 hour course in Traditional Thai Massage. I don't teach Thai massage but I teach the 64 hours of anatomy and 24 hours of pathology that are part of the program. I have been to Ajijic 7 times. I will be volunteering to teach an 8 hr anatomy course to Mexican massage therapists during my next stay. If anyone knows of someone skilled in Traditional Thai massage than I would be interested in a session. -Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are visiting a spa five miles west of Ajijic known for their thermal bathing. At 2:27 you will see your desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
