Thai Massage

Thai massage originated in India over 2500 years ago. It is a profoundly therapeutic and dynamic massage that combines stretches, muscle compression, and pressure points, to more thoroughly release tension in deep muscle and connective tissue, and help you relax, and feel more grounded and energized.  This style of bodywork is based on the existence of the ‘energy body’ through which life force flows. Through compressions and pressure on specific points, and stretches to release blockages, a free flow of energy is restored. It is a blend of massage, acupressure, energy work, and gentle yoga stretches.

You wear comfortable clothing and lie on the floor on a soft mat. No oil or lotion is used. The Thai Massage Practitioner uses knees and feet, as well as hands and forearms, for more pressure, and always works as gently or firmly as you need. You are massaged in more positions than on a table in traditional spa massage:  face-up, side-lying, face-down, and sitting, for more thorough, three-dimensional, muscle work and stretches.
