Thai Massage
Thai massage is based on the concept of energy lines known as the Sen. Working along these lines with acupressure and stretching can treat the whole body by opening energetic, physical, and emotional blockages.
Thai massage promotes general health and wellbeing through prevention and treatment. As a means of prevention, it improves fluid circulation, digestion, breathing capacity, posture, flexibility, and releases nervous tension by activating a free flow of energy through the body. As a therapy, it can cure a large number of pathologies like lower back pain, headaches, digestive problems, stress, insomnia, nervous imbalance, and muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.
Thai massage is performed on the floor, without oil, while the patient wears light, comfortable clothing.

Osteothai
Osteothai is a therapy that integrates the principles and techniques of osteopathy and Thai massage. It is essentially a bridge between massage concepts of the East and the West. Traditional Thai Massage's varied and powerful stretches, long leverage techniques across muscle groups, acupressure work along energy lines, and creative, dynamic movements combined with osteopathy's release of tissue tension and focus on improving mobility creates a dynamic experience for the massage recipient. Osteothai is a form of bodywork that combines creative and powerful Thai massage techniques with the precise and gentle touch of osteopathy.
Osteothai is practiced on the floor while the patient wears light, comfortable clothing. The masseuse uses their hands, feet, knees and elbows for a rich and colourful approach to massage.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle bodywork that focuses on a pulsating rhythm through the fluids and membranes of the brain and spinal cord between the cranium and sacrum. The essence of that rhythm is called “primary respiration mechanism” or “Breath of Life” which is manifested throughout the entire body. This rhythm is directly linked to other rhythms in the body like thoracic breathing and fluctuations in the central nervous system. Therefore Craniosacral Therapy is a holistic bodywork that has effects throughout the whole body.
This therapy is performed with great care and mindfulness to assist the body with autoregulation and self-healing. General health, vitality and resources are supported and strengthened so that there can be a positive change on different levels of existence. Craniosacral Therapy is a very gentle form of bodywork that is designed for people of all ages and all levels of experience with pain.
Craniosacral Therapy is performed on a massage table.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu originates from Japan and is a practice anchored in Eastern philosophy and influenced by therapeutic health science. With roots in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Shiatsu has been expanded and enhanced by Western physiotherapy and osteopathic and craniosacral techniques.
Shiatsu helps with chronic and acute physical complaints as well as stress. This form of therapy balances the meridians (energy channels) and the energy flow (Qi) in the body and stimulates self-healing power. Using light pressure, stretches and rotations, Shiatsu releases tension and brings profound regeneration.

Zoltan Gyorgyovics
THAI MASSAGE, OSTEOTHAI, & CRANIOSACRAL BIODYNAMICS
"Zoltan has the capacity to deeply listen to the needs of your body individually and according to that, he adjusts his treatments in a way that your body receives exactly what it needs. He is gifted with extremely sensitive hands and the ability to move and transform in much deeper and more subtle levels then 'only' the physical body."
After a transformative two years in India, Zoltan returned to his home in Budapest and started his study as a Medical Massage therapist. During his studies, he met his first Thai Massage teacher, who planted “a good spirit” within his heart and trained him in the basic principles: not only Thai Massage, but also Concentration Meditation and Vipassana.
In 2006, Zoltan started to study with other teachers and became an assistant. In this way, he was refining his techniques and learning the way of teaching and sharing during many many years. In 2008 came his first trip to Thailand, where he continued to assist and study more with different teachers and schools. During this period, he started to give treatments and attended many Vipassana retreats.
Since 2014 he is a fully authorised teacher of the Sunshine Network and teaching Thai Massage workshops and courses all around the globe.
Zoltan appreciates a lot to have had the chance to study with the two founders of Osteothai (where Thai Massage meets Osteopathy) which left a big imprint in his way of treating and inspired him to finally start studying Osteopathy in Switzerland (SICO - swiss international school of osteopathy) where he lives, treats and teaches nowadays.
Zoltan offers 2 Hour Treatments which combine Traditional Thai Massage, OsteoThai and Craniosacral Biodynamics. His treatments take place on a soft futon on the floor. Please dress in comfortable, loose clothes - preferably non-synthetic and with long sleeves. It is recommended to keep your stomach light.
Costs: 150 CHF (it is possible to get a receipt for your health insurance).
