Does anyone know / can recommend and ACTUAL REFLEXOLOGY clinic in Chiang Mai? Not foot massage - reflexology.

Thanks,

Reflexology, or the study of pressure points, exists only in Chinese medicine. Traditional Thai medicine and massage don't use acupoints; they work along energy lines. There is one style of Thai massage called Royal Massage, which arose under the influence of Chinese court doctors. They use Chinese, not Thai, "body maps." This practice was partly incorporated into the more universal "Southern style of Thai massage" (=Wat Pho style). You need to look for either a Chinese medicine clinic (there are definitely some in Chiang Mai), or Royal Massage practitioners (they may be found in expensive private hospitals whose clients are Thai Chinese), or those who for sure work in Wat Pho style. Among the latter, I can recommend Kunlarat Massage (Google). But it all depends on the therapist – some work with acupressure, and some don't.

My question wasn't about the differences between the different techniques\massages. I know the difference. I'm looking for a practitioner of reflexology in Chiang Mai. If he\she is good and recommended I don't really care where they studied.

So, do you know one? Do you recommend him\her?
