Understanding Thai Massage Therapy
Thai massage therapy combines massage and stretching techniques with breathing exercises to soothe the entire body. During the treatment, we use gentle pulling and rocking techniques to release tension and increase blood circulation. Furthermore, our therapists use their hands and feet to perform special massage techniques following energy lines in the body instead of focusing on muscle groups.
Thai Massage is performed on a mat on the floor instead of a specialized bed. Along with that, no oils are involved, the client remains fully clothed, and the client interacts with the therapist more than in a regular massage session. All Thai massage therapy techniques are based on the flow of energy throughout the body. In addition, we may use acupuncture and joint mobilization in conjunction with the massage to speed up the healing process.
