Thai Massage

The traditional healing massage of Thailand originated in India during the Buddha's lifetime, over 2500 years ago.

This form of Thai massage involves manipulation using stretching techniques and gentle pressure along the meridians or energy lines of the body.

The aim of Thai massage is to release toxins and waste materials from the joints, muscles and connective tissue, and stimulate internal organs by gentle pressure on specific energy points.

Thai massage is carried out on a mat or thin mattress, which is laid out on the floor. The therapist uses both their hands and feet to apply pressure to the client's fully-clothed body and to carry out a range of gentle stretching methods. During the massage the client, whilst being manipulated gently and respectively, is given the opportunity to look within and focus on the healing experience. A Thai massage can last up to 2 hours and clients are advised to wear loose, comfortable clothes.
