Traditional Thai Massage also known as Thai Yoga Massage combines various powerful techniques including soothing massage techniques, thumb pressure similar to acupressure and applied yoga stretches. It is a unique form of bodywork dating back to ancient times over 2,500 years ago. It was originally practised in temples in Thailand by Buddhist monks as a means of invigorating the mind, body and spirit.
Benefits include gentle muscle stretching to increase flexibility, joint mobility and energy levels. Deep relaxation techniques to reduce stress levels, emotional tension and create a feeling of peacefulness and well-being. There are a vast array of techniques and practitioners use their hands, feet, legs, knees and elbows to free the tension held within the body. The client remains fully clothed. Both the client and practitioner benefit from the yoga stretching and meditative qualities.
