Description

Thai Massage is a unique type of bodywork with a very long tradition being developed 2500 years ago. It originates from Indian Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine, Yoga and Acupressure.

Thai Massage is often called “yoga for lazy people” or “passive yoga”. This is because the therapist applies gentle Yoga stretches combined with the receiver’s deep breathing, which brings similar effects as that of yoga: the release of tension and blockages in the body and a calming to the mind. The main difference is that the receiver stays totally relaxed and the therapist does the stretching.

The receiver wears loose clothing throughout the treatment and the massage is done on a firm futon or mat on the floor rather than a raised table. This allows for many movements and techniques to be used that are not practical or effective on the table.

The main benefits you will feel after a Thai Massage session are improved posture, flexibility, breathing and circulation of blood, reduction in emotional and nervous tension, stretching of the muscles, toning of the inner organs, a deep sense of peace experienced during and often for some time after the treatment.
