Thai Massage

Thai massage involves being gently moved into yoga-like positions whilst lying down on a padded floor mat, fully clothed in loose fisherman pants and a top. Using hands and feet, the therapist follows energy lines in the body and applies pressure with rhythmic movements too. A 90-minute or 2-hour massage is highly recommended for a full-body treatment as an hour is just not long enough to feel the full benefit and enable the therapist to really get to work on every part of the body.

Mindful Rest

Lying down in a dimly-lit room, the very commitment to a massage is a way of surrendering to the here and now; of allowing your body and mind to flow as slow, methodical movements lull you into a restful, centred state. By disengaging from the hubbub around you and the sensory overload of life, taking a massage in Thailand gives you the space and time to let go of stresses and strains; a meditational therapy that guides you to experiencing the ‘now’ in a liberating way that resonates throughout your whole being. In this respect, TTM can be deeply transformative.

Eases Muscle & Joint Pain

The power of human touch is extraordinary when it comes to affecting your emotional and physical wellbeing. One of the instant results of relaxing into a massage in Thailand is how the kneading, rocking, and static pressure can work its therapeutic magic on tired and aching muscles and alleviate tension in joints and fascia. As mobility is improved, and muscles stretched, your muscles and joints feel less heavy and pain can be relieved too.

Energy Releasing

A big misnomer when it comes to TTM is that it lulls you into a fatigued state. Whether you have a foot or full body massage, the effect is to relax and energize you at the same time, leaving you feeling lighter and less sluggish. Working along so-called Sen lines, energy is moved around the body so that any restricted or blocked flow is released through chakras that are akin to the traditional acupuncture points and trigger points. Movements that manipulate, massage, stretch, and create pressure are a way of maintaining internal balance and connecting the body, mind, and beyond in harmony; releasing energy along the way.
