Traditional Thai massage is sometimes referred to as Thai Yoga massage, due to it's relationship and similarities to Hatha Yoga postures.
Thai massage is an interactive manipulative bodywork therapy which uses passive stretches, gentle palm and thumb pressure which work along the energy lines of the body.
It is performed fully clothed and on a futon style mattress, it is a bit like doing a Yoga session without putting forth any effort and receiving an acupressure treatment at the same time. It is applied in a meditative atmosphere and in a flowing rhythm which enables the mind to relax and enter a deep relaxation.
Thai massage can help to lower stress, increase flexibility, balance the body's energy system and relieve muscular and joint tension.
