Thai massage is best for people who want a more active form of massage and want to reduce and relieve pain and stress. Thai massage is more active than other forms of massage, and the therapist will stretch your body in addition to providing a massage.

How is a thai massage performed?

Thai massage is usually performed over loose fitting clothes where you will be put through a series of stretches covering the entire body. The therapist uses her fingers, palms, elbows, knees, her whole body as ballast. Unlike Swedish massage, there is a lot of interaction between the therapist and the receiver. Muscles are gradually loosened and joints limbered through strategic pressure and movement. Your therapist will use her whole body to easy you into a series of elongating stretches, which can often resemble familiar yoga positions, hence the reason why Thai massage is sometimes referred to as “lazy man’s yoga”
