How is it done?
Traditional Thai massage is done on a mat on the floor. There are no oils used and you are dressed in comfortable clothes. The massage practitioner uses thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, feet, and knees to press and stretch your body. The movements are repetitive and flowing allowing the muscles to relax before the stretches.
Will it hurt? Can I do it?
Thai massage is never painful. It is soothing and creates a sense of well-being. It is a profound way of honoring the body.
Those with limited flexibility are challenged to move only within their range. You dictate how deeply or how far a movement is pushed and you are never pushed past the limits of your comfort.
How will I benefit?
Most musculo-skeletal pain and/or lack of mobility of the joints are the results of muscles that shorten due to repetitive strain.
The pressing techniques of Thai massage prepare muscles for stretching by opening the muscles to the flow of energies. The manipulations stretch the muscles a little more than would be possible if done alone.
Thai massage increases joint mobility and flexibility, improves circulation, tonifies organs, and relieves muscular and emotional tension.
You will be amazed at the degree of stretching your stiff body can achieve and how relaxed, refreshed, and much more flexible you feel after a session.
How does Thai massage compare with western massages?
Thai Massage is normally done on a comfortable mat on the floor, to provide for maximum mobility, allowing the therapist to utilize their body weight. The client is fully clothed and no oils are required. Western style massage requires the guest to undress, oils to be applied to the body, and the massage is most often performed on a table.
Thai addresses the clients overall well being, helping the body to function at its highest level.
Thai uses point pressure to open energy lines throughout the body. Energy work is combined with stretching techniques to open the body, creating a relaxing yet simultaneously invigorating experience. The Thai therapist uses their whole body, to treat the whole body
