Thai Massage
Thai Massage, often called Thai Yoga Massage, is an energy and bodywork practice that originated in Thailand and is considered part of Traditional Thai Medicine. It appears to have been influenced by Buddhist, Indian and Chinese traditional practices. Thai Massage incorporates aspects of energy work, acupressure, and yoga traditions.
The practice of Thai Massage became popular in the west, beginning in the 1980’s when western tourism to Thailand increased, as well as the interest in experiencing alternative health techniques.
In a Thai Massage, our practitioner will work segments of these lines using acupressure with their thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, feet or knees. In addition, a Thai Massage will incorporate yoga-style stretches, where the practitioner stretches the client using their hands, arms, feet and knees. As with yoga, correct breathing practices aid the client in obtaining results.
