Thai massage is performed on a mat on the floor with the client fully clothed in loose, comfortable clothing. It focuses on energy lines, pressure points and a wide variety of stretching movements. Thai massage is very fluent and treats the body as a whole. The therapist starts at the feet and works up the body, focusing on areas of tension. A typical treatment is 90 minutes, anything less is considered a quick treatment and is only recommended if the client has time constraints.
The stretches used in Thai massage affect the entire body by increasing flexibility and releasing tension. The
effects of these stretching movements, in which the client plays a passive role, are very similar to yoga. It is a relaxing, feel good massage that works on your toes all the way to your face and scalp, you will be left feeling relaxed, open and energized!
