It is deeply influenced by Indian Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese medicine and its foundation is attributed to Shivago Komarpaj who was the Buddha’s physician.Thai Massage incorporates elements of mindfulness, gentle rocking, deep stretching, and rhythmic compression to create a wonderful healing experience and to restore balance and harmony to the body, mind and spirit.Thai Massage uses assisted yoga Asanas to open the joints and relieve the tension in surrounding muscles, which allows prana, chi, or healing energy to move more freely through the bodyThai Massage allows the receiver to experience a deepening into the asana (yoga posture) through a deep and gentle assistance, opening the joints without the resistance created when using their own power. The use of gentle rocking, thumb pressure and rhythmic compression helps the body to be prepared for the stretches so that the person feels “invited” to receive the stretch and defence reactions are not triggeredThai Massage is performed on a mat on the floor and the client wears light, loose-fitting clothing.

Thai foot and leg massage

Thai foot and leg massage has some similarities to reflexology.

It uses the concept of there being connections on the sole of the feet to every part of the body including the internal organs and brain.The difference with the Traditional Thai massage version is that the practitioner will also massage the lower legs as far as, and including, the knees. As with the other modalities of Traditional Thai massage the focus will be on applying pressure to specific acupressure points during the massage to have a more therapeutic effect on the entire body and mind. This form of massage is extremely relaxing and very good for both physical and mental health. The practitioner will also include a neck and shoulder massage as part of the treatment.
