Thai massage is an ancient art and amalgamation: influenced by yoga, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine and Buddhism.

Traditionally it is practiced with both the practitioner and receiver wearing loose fitting clothing to allow mobility during movement and stretches. The practitioner will incorporate yogic stretching, movement and acupressure techniques as they knead and press muscles along the body’s energy lines with the hands and sometimes elbows or feet. This practice is a little more energetic and rigorous than your typical massage.

Combining the principles of acupressure where the Sen (energy lines) are stimulated, it is said to balance the energy system in the body for a holistic, whole body rejuvenation. The passive stretching can help open up the body, increase flexibility and relieve tension within the joints and muscles. Treatments are typically from toe to head. 2 hours long is recommended for the traditional experience. 90 minute and 1 hour sessions are also available.
