Thai Massage

What is Thai Massage massage?

Thai massage is a traditional therapeutic practice originating in Thailand. It involves a combination of stretching, acupressure, and assisted yoga postures. The recipient remains fully clothed during the session, while the therapist uses their hands, elbows, knees, and feet to apply rhythmic pressure along energy lines and manipulate the body. Thai massage aims to promote relaxation, improve flexibility, and balance the body’s energy flow.

During an Thai massage, the process typically involves the following steps:

Client Preparation: The recipient wears comfortable clothing and lies down on a mat or padded surface.
Foot Massage: The therapist starts by massaging the feet, applying pressure and stretching techniques.
Leg Stretching: Gentle rocking and stretching movements are applied to the legs to enhance flexibility.
Hip and Back Compression: The therapist uses palms, thumbs, and elbows to apply rhythmic pressure to the hips and back.
Seated Position: The recipient is guided into a seated position for additional stretches and pressure on the back and shoulders.
Stretches and Twists: Yoga-like stretches and twists are incorporated to improve joint mobility.
Side-Lying Position: The recipient lies on their side for more stretches and hip and shoulder pressure.
Supine Position: The massage concludes with stretches, neck, head, and face massage, promoting relaxation and rejuvenation.
