Thai Massage
Thai Massage is a form of Eastern bodywork that combines principles of assisted yoga, massage, acupressure, Buddhist meditation (metta) and ayurveda. It is performed on a padded floor mat with the client dressed in loose, comfortable clothing. The recipient remains passive as the practitioner applies deep, yet gentle stretching, rhythmic rocking motions and pressure using feet, hands, forearms, thumbs and knees. It is often referred to as a “fluid dance” between the practitioner and receiver. Thai massage aims to restore your balance energetically and physically, and creates a deep state of relaxation. Depending on what your body needs, restoring balance can produce effects such as fatigue, sleepiness, mood change, invigoration and/or rejuvenation.
