Thai Massage
What is Thai Massage?
Thai Yoga massage is an ancient form of therapeutic healing. Its roots are in India from where it was brought to Thailand over 2000 years ago by Ayurvedic doctors and Buddhist monks. It is a unique and powerful system of Yoga Therapy, which combines rhythmic massage, acu-pressure, asanas (Yogic stretching exercises), gentle twisting, energy work and meditation. Thai Yoga Massage stimulates and balances the flow of healing energy within the body, opening the areas which are blocked bringing the person deeper into balance and harmony for health, happiness and wellness of being. This system creates a powerful release of stress and tension, an increase in vitality and well-being and it deepens the connection between mind, body and spirit in both the giver and receiver.
How does Thai Massage feel?
Thai Massage is more energizing and rigorous than the more classic forms of massage. Thai Massage is also called Thai yoga massage because the therapist uses his hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Many say Thai Massage is like doing yoga without any work ("Lazy Man's Yoga"). Muscle compression, joint mobilization and acupressure are also used during treatment. People describe Thai Massage as both relaxing and energizing.
What should I expect during my session?
No oil or lotion is used during session, and you will be fully dressed in comfortable clothing. Because of the various stretches, the session will occur on a massage table or the floor (depending on the therapist).
