Thai Massage

Thai massage – also known as Thai Yoga Massage, or informally as ‘the lazy person’s yoga’ – combines assisted yoga with acupressure techniques. The therapist will incorporate yogic stretching movements as they knead and press muscles along the body’s energy lines with the hands and feet. Thai massage combines the principles of acupressure whereby the Sen is stimulated, which is said to balance the energy system in the body.

A Thai massage is much different than many other types of massages. The big difference is Thai massage techniques are intended to energize the body rather than relax it, as many other massage techniques do.
