Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient therapy that has been practiced for over 2,500 years. Often referred to as the “lazy person’s yoga.” It is performed on a large, comfortable Thai mat on the floor while the client wears loose, comfortable clothing. This massage is suitable for people of all ages, regardless of their flexibility level.
Thai Massage blends deep muscle compressions, acupressure, reflexology, and passive yoga-like stretches. Some describe it as a combination of a chiropractic adjustment, a massage therapy session, an acupuncture treatment, and a yoga class all in one.
This therapy focuses on specific energy channels that align with the body’s fascial patterns. When properly addressed, it can greatly improve mobility, reduce pain and tension, leaving clients feeling deeply relaxed yet energized. The gentle rocking and rhythmic movements also help calm the nervous system, promoting mental and physical well-being. The pressure and depth of the stretches are tailored to the client’s current needs and capabilities.
Advanced Thai Practitioners utilize a wide range of techniques, employing their hands, feet, legs, elbows, and sometimes specialized Thai tools to release tension and restore balance throughout the body.
