THAI MASSAGE
The traditional massage of Thailand is an ancient form of therapeutic bodywork first practiced over 2500 years ago. It combines acupressure, yoga, compression and deep stretching techniques utilizing the practitioner’s palms, thumbs, elbows, soles of feet and knees to release muscles and free joints. Performed on a floor mat, both practitioner and client move through four positions (front, back, side and seated). Thai massage oxygenates the blood, improves circulation, increases joint flexibility, massages internal organs, reduces stress, increases energy and facilitates mind/body spirit balance. It is often referred to as ‘yoga for lazy people.’
