Therapeutic and Relaxation Massages
Thai Massage
Thai massage like other Asian massage techniques is a form of therapy based on the theory of the flow of energy between specific points in the body. It is through the massaging and stretching of this network of energy lines that Thai Massage releases tension by allowing energy to flow more freely. Promoting this free flow of energy works to restore balance that alleviate problematic conditions. During a session the therapist uses their hands, knees, legs, and feet to move the client into a series of yoga like stretches. Muscle compression, joint mobilization and acupressure are also used during the treatment with a resulting suppling and structural aligning of the body. This blend of acupressure and stretching is especially beneficial for those who find themselves stiff, sore and tired from over exertion in work, sports or from disorders affecting mobility. Thai Massage is used to treat a variety of problems and conditions including muscle cramps, headaches, chronic pain, digestive problems and more. Treatments strengthen the immune system by stimulating blood circulation and lymphatic flow.
Thai Massage is done on a comfortable mat on the floor as opposed to a table. During the massage no oil is used and the recipient remains fully clothed. Please bring or wear comfortable clothing that dose not restrict your range of motion.
