Thai Massage

Thai massage is a type of bodywork therapy that originated in Thailand and is part of traditional Thai medicine. It combines various techniques including acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. Unlike western massage types, Thai massage does not involve the use of oils or lotions and is performed on a mat on the floor with the client wearing loose or stretchy clothing. The therapist uses his or her body to move the client into a variety of positions, applying deep muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure. Thai massage primarily aims to enhance the flow of energy, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation and well-being. It is used to treat a range of health issues including musculoskeletal pain, stress, anxiety, and circulatory problems.
