Chuck Duff is certified as a Thai Massage Instructor and Therapist by the International Thai Therapists Association. He conducts regular Thai Massage certification trainings in Evanston and Chicago.

Traditional Thai Massage, evolving from the ancient healing traditions of Ayurveda and Thai Buddhism, leads to greater physical awareness, grace, and spiritual energy. The practitioner uses hands, feet, arms, and legs to guide the recipient through a series of yoga postures involving fluid movements, gentle stretching, and breathwork. Performed on a floor mat in comfortable clothes, this assisted yoga creates a therapeutic "dance" incorporating rhythmicmotion and palming and thumbing along energy lines to invoke emotional calming and deep relaxation.

The Thai massage techniques, evolved and refined over 2500 years, work together to provide profound benefits including:

• relief of pain due to arthritis, repetitive stress, overworked muscles
• enhancement of your practice of yoga, pilates, and other physical modalities
• balancing of the body's energy pathways
• better resistance to injury
• improved range of motion
• release of toxins from areas of accumulation
• toning of internal organs
• increased energy and peaceful alertness
• emotional calming and deep relaxation.
