Traditional Thai massage uses no oils or lotions, and the recipient remains clothed during a treatment. There is constant body contact between the practitioner and client, but rather than rubbing on muscles, the body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked in order to clear energy blockages and relieve tension. The practitioner uses thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, knees and feet to create a dance of movement on the body of the recipient.
In this process, joints are opened, muscles and tendons are stretched, internal organs are toned, and energy is balanced. The overall effect is one of deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and physical and mental well being. Our therapists are dedicated to practising this ancient holistic therapy in a sensitive and intuitive way. Through a unique combination of gentle stretching and palm and thumb pressure to activate the energy lines, tension is released from the body and mind, creating a sense of balance and well-being.
