Service Description

Thai traditional massage, also known as Thai yoga massage, is a therapeutic practice that combines acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. It is a holistic therapy that aims to balance the body, mind, and spirit. Unlike Western massage styles, Thai massage is performed fully clothed on a mat on the floor, without the use of oils or lotions. Practitioners use their hands, thumbs, elbows, forearms, and sometimes feet to apply pressure and manipulate the body into various stretches. Key aspects of Thai traditional massage: Energy Lines: Thai massage works with the body's energy lines, called "sen," believed to be pathways for vital energy. Acupressure and Stretching: Practitioners use acupressure techniques to stimulate these energy lines and incorporate yoga-like stretches to improve flexibility and mobility. Holistic Approach: Thai massage is seen as a way to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit, promoting overall well-being. Fully Clothed: It is performed while fully clothed, typically in loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. Floor Mat: The massage is typically done on a mat on the floor, rather than a massage table. No Oil: Thai massage is traditionally done without oil, unlike some other massage styles. Dynamic and Rhythmic: The massage is often described as a dynamic and rhythmic sequence of movements, incorporating gentle rocking and manipulation of joints. Benefits of Thai massage: Reduces Muscle Tension and Spasms: The combination of acupressure and stretching helps to release tension and alleviate muscle spasms. Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion: The assisted yoga-like stretches can improve flexibility and joint mobility. Relieves Stress and Anxiety: The relaxing and calming nature of the massage can help to reduce stress and anxiety levels. May Improve Circulation: The manipulation of the body and pressure points can potentially improve blood circulation. May Aid in Pain Relief: Thai massage may help to relieve pain associated with various conditions, such as back pain and headaches.
