Thai Massage

Traditional Thai massage is a form of oriental bodywork originating over 2000 years ago. The massage consists of rhythmical massage techniques, deep stretching and gentle pressure along the energy meridians of the body. The treatment helps to improve flexibility, release areas of stress and tension and promote relaxation and a feeling of vitality.

What is it?

Thai massage is carried out on a thin mattress laid out on the floor. The client is stretched and massaged in a variety of different positions designed to efficiently reach and release areas of muscle and connective tissue which are often overlooked in a traditional Western (Swedish) massage. It is sometimes referred to as Thai Yoga massage.

The massage is carried out through loose clothing and no oil is used. The duration is 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours.

What is it useful for?

This massage can be useful for specific pain relief to a general relaxation treatment. Special techniques can be used to treat specific problems such arising in the musculoskeletal system (eg. back/shoulder tension, sports injuries), and the relaxing effect of the treatment helps to balance the nervous system and thus improve general body function.

The client can choose on a firm or gentle massage depending on his/her goals for the themselves.
