Thai Massage

This treatment takes 60-90mins dependent on your personal preference.

​

Thai massage is a little intense at first especially if you’re used to Swedish massage and don’t normally do much stretching. It reminds you that massage isn’t just pressure applied to you by someone else, but a balancing of the body by limbering joints and loosening muscles through movement and strategic pressure.

​

Sometimes referred to as assisted yoga, Thai massage is focused on improving the flow of energy throughout your body and is based on the idea that energy moves along predictable lines or pathways known as sens. To increase the flow of energy along these sens, I will move your body into yoga-like positions by pulling and rocking your body in various ways.

​

The combination of stretching, movement, and pressure is what distinguishes Thai massage from other types of massage. Thai massage may be a good option for you if you want a more active type of massage, where you move and participate instead of lying down throughout your massage.

​

With Thai massage, you wear your own loose-fitting clothes, you keep your clothes on throughout the treatment.

​

Typically, you’ll lie on a mat on the floor, not on a massage table. Once on the mat, I will slowly move your body through multiple stretches, using the weight and pressure of my body to assist you.

 

If your muscles are sore or tense, you may feel some discomfort. If you do, you must let let me know so the pressure and stretching can be reduced.

 

If you have an injury, or some part of your body is particularly sensitive to pain, be sure to let me  know before we start the massage session.
