Traditional Thai Massage

What Is Thai Massage?

A Thai massage is a form of massage that is rooted in ancient healing techniques and originating from the country of Thailand in South East Asia. This form of massage combines traditional massages of acupressure with a unique combination of stretching techniques to help to loosen stiff muscles and assist the body with flexibility.

Unlike many other forms of massage, no oils are used during a Thai massage. The person that is receiving the massage typically remains clothed. During the treatment, the recipient will have their body stretched, compressed, contorted and kneaded in various ways. Although the techniques can be slightly rough and sometimes painful, the overall experience of a Thai massage is certainly a pleasant one and usually leaves the recipient feeling very relaxed after.
