Thai Massage
 
 
 
Thai Massage uses gentle, deep stretches and compressions along with acupressure and reflexology techniques resulting in a full body treatment. The treatment improves flexibility, circulation and relieves stress and muscular tension. It is effective at treating a range of musculoskeletal problems including back, neck, shoulder, hip and leg pain. It is also used for treating sports related injuries and aiding effective recovery and protection from further injury.
 
Thai Massage is traditionally carried out on a futon mat on the floor with the client and practitioner wearing loose, comfortable clothing allowing flexibility and free movement. 
 
The origins of Thai Massage can be traced back over 2,500 years to India during the Buddha’s lifetime. As Buddhism spread into Thailand so did the treatments used by the monks. These treatments began to be used outside of the temples and developed over the millennia into the Thai Massage used today.
