Thai Massage is a wake-up for your whole body

Traditional Thai Massage is multi-faceted: it’s a yoga class, physical therapy session, acupressure appointment, and massage all rolled into one! This bodywork is tailored specifically for the needs and issues of each client, and is a wonderful dynamic massage for anybody at any age or ability … 

What does it feel like?

Practiced fully clothed on a mat on the floor, Thai massage can sometimes appear not like a massage at all. Sometimes referred to as lazy person’s yoga, your therapist will use stretching, pulling, and rocking techniques in a massage routine. These movements can be very relaxing, even lulling you to sleep.  The series of yoga-like stretches, deep muscle compression, and joint mobilization helps to relax and restore your body to its homeostasis.  Thai massage is a deep massage and whilst a good therapist will ensure an enjoyable experience, some areas may feel slightly painful due to tightness of muscles. Once a person is comfortable with the dance, it can be very meditative.  

Massage of all types is often used to relieve stress and protect against stress-related health issues. It is also said to boost energy and improve range of motion and flexibility.  

Thai massage can release muscular tension, increase flexibility and mobility of joints and improve breathing. The techniques used can also help to increase blood circulation, boost the immune system and promote mental clarity.  Thai massage is particularly beneficial for reducing lower back and hip pain, as well as increasing mobility in active bodies.

A Thai massage experience can help you relieve stress and anxiety, encourages the flow of energy through your body, raise energy levels and stamina and promote an overall feeling of relaxation and well-being.
