What clients of Boston Thai Yoga say:

My mobility had decreased substantially. Physical therapy treatments were very painful and ineffective. In 2006, my medical professionals recommended that I go on disability. They said that the course of the disease, even if arrested, would likely leave my body with limited mobility and chronic pain.
I took some time evaluate options. Thai yoga emerged as the best match for my physical condition.
I started with Ross more than 2 years ago. After about 6 months, my flexibility had increased to the point that the pain was manageable and flexibility allowed me to start a light weight workout program. I was able to incorporate bicycling into my program in mid-2009.
The addition of an experimental diet, that includes 50g of protein a day, helped me stabilize my weight and add muscle mass. The combination of dietary supplements, anti-rejection medicine, and Thai yoga with Ross has combined to allow me to function close to normal.
Thai yoga has been my anti-pain medication. I attribute much of my ability to work to the Thai yoga program with Ross.

Many people use massage as an opportunity to relax, but Thai yoga bodywork is so much more than that.
After a session with Ross I feel like I have had an assisted yoga workout, an intense but relaxing stretching session,
and a physical therapy-like massage that concludes with a meditative experience that leaves me totally at peace.
If you are looking for massage that will result in long-term benefits, Thai yoga bodywork is the way to go.
It is not easy to find a highly trained Thai massage therapist in the Boston area--Ross is a gifted therapist indeed.
After traveling for several weeks and driving for many hours, I found that I was really stiff and feeling very stressed out.
As I knew that a deep-tissue massage would not be enough to alleviate my discomfort and neck/back pain,
I sought out Thai yoga massage.
After my first 2-hour session with Ross, I immediately felt more relaxed,
my neck and back were back to normal and I had flexibility again. For several days I felt the benefits of the massage
and called back a week later to schedule another session before I left town.
I would highly reccommend Thai yoga bodywork by Ross.
I felt incredible and slept great for many days after the sessions.
In 2005, I was diagnosed with progressive systemic scleroderma (a chronic, degenerative, autoimmune disorder that leads to the over-production of collagen in the body's connective tissue). My lungs had deteriorated to the point that my doctor said that I would likely go on oxygen within 18 months and expire within 3 years.
