Traditional Thai Massage

Thai massage, which originated in India, has been around for over 2,500 years and is influenced by both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine.

Initially, the intention held is to experience a sense of awareness and being present in each moment, and secondly to honour loving kindness.

Thai massage is the most thorough massage there is, combining acupressure, palming, and a number of stretching techniques. The energy meridian lines are worked to release any energy blockages that are creating illness and disease. Often dubbed “the lazy man’s yoga”, the therapist will pull the client into various yoga poses after the body is relaxed and opened out through the initial massage.

The client remains fully clothed and lies on a floor mattress while the practitioner uses their thumbs, hands, arms, elbows, knees, and feet to press, stretch, release, rock, and work on the different parts of the body. These techniques are used to relieve tension, promote relaxation and improve flexibility and circulation.
