What is Thai massage?

Thai massage combines assisted yoga with acupressure techniques. Unlike classic Swedish style massage that uses a bed Thai massage are performed on the ground on a specialist matt for the client to lie on.  The therapist will incorporate yogic stretching movements as they knead and press muscles along the body’s energy lines with the hands and feet. Thai massage combines the principles of acupressure whereby the Sen ( energy linens/points in the body) are stimulated, which is said to balance the energy system in the body.

The passive stretching can also help to open up the body increasing flexibility and relieve tension within the joints and the muscles. A Thai massage treatment typically begins at the feet with the client lying face down and is more energetic and rigorous than your usual massage. The therapist will also often use their hands and feet to apply pressure, and the treatment usually is done through the clothes, We also offer a Thai oil and herbal compress massage which is more gentle and is great for clients with less flexibility or other health concerns. 

What are the benefits of Thai massage?

​

There are many benefits of having a Thai massage treatment, since through various techniques and applied pressures, muscles are manipulated releasing tension and endorphins to help us feel good. The theory for these benefits also lies in the influence of Chinese medicine and acupressure philosophy, which believe we all have meridian lines within our bodies and along these meridian lines are acupressure points. By stimulating the acupressure points this will allow for a healthier flow of energy. The energy is known as Qi or Chi.

The main benefits of Thai massage are:

In addition to these benefits, like all massage, the stimulation of the nerves and skin cells can improve skin quality and muscular function, and contribute to an overall sense of well-being.
