Details-Thai Massage
Thai massage uses gentle pressure and stretching techniques to relax the whole body. This is an ancient healing practice that originated in India. It dates back to around 2,500–7,000 years ago.
It relieves stress and tension in joints and muscles. It is also very good for those of you feeling stiff, especially during travel, as you are stretched throughout the massage.
Thai massage differs from other types of massages in the following ways:
1. The massage generally follows the imaginary designated lines ("sen") in the body.
2. The therapist uses their hands (thumbs, elbows, forearms) and sometimes, even their feet to reduce tension in the muscles.
3. The massage does not use oils or lotions.
The therapist will move the person’s body into yoga-like positions (assisted yoga) in addition to pulling and rocking the body in various other ways. The combination of stretching, movement, and pressure distinguishes Thai massage from other types of massage.
4. A typical session lasts 30 to 120 minutes
