ABOUT THAI MASSAGE
Traditional Thai Massage, also known as Ancient Massage or Thai Yoga Massage, dates back more than three hundred years in its present form, with its origins going back more than 5,000 years to ancient India and China. While Thai Massage combines elements of Ayeurvedic medicine, Hatha yoga and Chinese acupressure, it has evolved into a system that is entirely unique and is widely regarded as one of the best systems of therapeutic massage.

BENEFITS OF THAI MASSAGE
Many health benefits have been associated with Thai Massage, including:

• Relief from stress and muscle tension
• Relief from aches and pains
• Improved circulation
• Unblocking and balancing of energy flow
• Detoxification of the internal organs
• Improved alignment
• Increased flexibility and range of motion
• A general increase in energy
• Improved mood

Like any form of massage, benefits increase with repeated treatments.

TECHNIQUE
Thai Massage combines gentle, yoga-like stretching with massage of the muscles, tendons, pressure points and energy lines, or Sen. While there are hundreds of energy lines in the body, Thai massage focuses on the ten main energy lines, or Sip Sen.
Thai Massage technique may also employ the elbows, knees and feet in addition to the hands.

The pressure can be varied according to your preference. Less pressure should be used the first time, while more pressure can be applied as your body can tolerate deeper work. Always feel free to request the level of pressure that feels right for you. Be sure to tell your masseuse about any pain or specific problem areas that you would like help with.

Traditionally, oil is not used in Thai Massage, and client is fully clothed in sport type or loose fitting clothes.
