Thai Massage is an ancient form of massage thought to have been developed by Buddhist monks in Thailand 2,500 years ago.
Thai massage is traditionally performed on the floor or on a low massage bed - you lie face down as the masseuse guides you through partner yoga poses and manipulates your body into stretches.
Some traditional massage techniques, such as acupressure, compression and joint mobilization, are also used, but no lotions or oils are applied and you wear loose clothing for the session.
It uses passive stretching and gentle pressure along the body’s energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle and joint tension and balance the body’s energy systems.
