Thai Massage

Thai Massage is an ancient art with origins extending over 2500 years in history. It recognizes the unity of the whole being. It is a unique form of holistic body therapy that incorporates Hatha Yoga postures and acupressure to gently stretch the muscles and open the joints.  Thai is different from Western Massage in that not only are the hands used to free tension from the body, but Thai Massage Practitioners also use elbows, forearms and feet for interactive manipulation.

How is Thai Massage different? 

Thai Massage is performed on a mat on the floor with the client fully clothed. This gives maximum benefit from using weight, leverage and balance. Gentle pressure and compression are used to stimulate internal organs, relax tense muscles, release fascia and calm the nervous system. Passive stretching adjusts the skeletal structure and increases flexibility and restores movement.  

Often referred to as the 'lazy man's yoga', the movements of gentle rocking, deep stretching and compression assist in the restructuring of the muscular-skeletal framework. Yogic stretches are interspersed with pressure along the body's "Sen" energy lines to relax muscles and enhance the flow of internal energy. 

Thai massage is ideal for those desiring deep relaxation, release from stress and enhanced flexibility as well as those seeking to increase their level of health, well-being and vitality.
