Manual Techniques for Relaxation

Thierry Alibert, a specialist in internal and external martial arts, is following his path in the spirit of oriental tradition by learning to master the Manual Techniques for Relaxation.
He has been studying these techniques at the ARTEC in Montpellier and you can now make the most of his twenty-five years experience in practising the “qi arts” (ki for the Japanese and prana for the hindous), forms of practice that aim to re-establish the balance of the vital energy’s harmonious flow.
He offers a synthesis of three practices recognised for their effectiveness: tui na, Korean relaxation and Thai massage.

There are regular individual and group sessions at Cahors, Gourdon and its whereabouts (by appointment).

Tui Na

It could be translated as "pull-push". It brings together various massage techniques developed by generations of Chinese therapists that have a common principal objective: to harmonize and regulate the circulation of the qi.
Each technique used is unique in its effects and has its own true “personality”.

Korean Relaxation

It is an original method of relaxation through vibrations of different areas of the body. The sense of deep physical and mental relaxation that it provides is reached by very few other methods. It relaxes the deep muscle structure, the back, makes sleeping easier and opens the way to the resources of our subconscious mind.

Thai Massage

Thai massage is a combination of stretching and punctual pressures acting on muscles, ligaments, articulations, bones, conjunctive tissues and organs to re-establish the energetic balance of the body. A session provides a nice and durable sense of well-being, relaxation, harmony but also dynamism.
