Thai Massage is an ancient system of bodywork originating in Thailand. The bodywork combines practitioner-assisted Yoga stretching exercises, trigger point therapy, deep tissue energy work and meditation.
Thai massage is performed on a mat on the floor, with both the practitioner and recipient wearing loose , comfortable clothing. No oil is required for this treatment.
This modality enhances the free and natural movements of the body, releases meridian energy and promotes blood and lymphatic flow, thereby increasing flexibility and range of motion.
*Thai massage is sometimes referred to as "Yoga for lazy people" - because of its similarity to Yoga stretches!
