TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE
Traditional Thai Massage is an age-old practice that has its origins in India, in the ancient practice of Yoga and the healing art of Ayerveda. The treatment is given on a mat on the floor, no oils are used and the client is dressed in loose and comfortable clothes.
Thai Massage incorporates Acupressure, Massage and Yoga-like stretching. It has been described as "yoga for the lazy", referring to the experience of having Yoga "done to you". It is an entirely passive and deeply relaxing experience. Thai Massage is very effective at releasing the chronic tension associated with joint and muscle problems such as frozen shoulder, carpel tunnel syndrome and low back pain. It improves athletic performance, decreases risk of injury, increases flexibility and reduces stress levels. All stretches are done gently, respecting your level of flexibility.
