Thai Traditional Massage

Description

Traditional Thai massage is an ancient healing system that combines acupressure, Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. Often described as “lazy yoga” or “assisted yoga,” it focuses on improving the flow of energy throughout your body.

Unlike a typical Western massage, it has a few distinct characteristics:

• No Oils Used: You remain fully clothed in loose, comfortable attire.

• Floor Mat: You lie on a padded mat on the floor rather than on a raised massage table.

• Active Stretching: The therapist uses their hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, and feet to apply rhythmic pressure and physically move your body into a series of deep, yoga-like stretches.

The primary goals of a traditional Thai massage are to relieve muscular tension, drastically improve flexibility, and leave you feeling energized rather than simply relaxed and sleepy.
