THAI MASSAGE

Thai Massage has its roots in India of 2500 years ago as an ancient healing system combining acupressure (energy point pressure), Indian Ayurvedic principles and assisted yoga postures. It was then developed by Buddhist monks in Thailand. Thai Massage uses gentle pressure along the body’s energy lines to release and remove the blocks that prevent the correct flow of energy. Once all soft tissues have been adequately pressed, stretches are applied. This will be subtle at first but gradually progresses to the elegant, large scale stretches for which Thai Massage is renowned.

Thai massage is usually performed on a matt on the floor, and the client remains clothed but wears loose clothing.
