The Traditional Thai massage draws a lot of influence from the ancient Ayurvedic holistic medical practices in India.
It is different from Western massage styles, the Thai massage focuses on pressure points and circulation, promoting
both muscular flexibility and internal health.
Treatment normally starts with the client’s feet and then moves upwards gradually to the head.
In addition, the massage techniques used in this type of traditional massage also required the body of the client to be
arranged gently into 4 positions, face-up, face-down, sitting position and side. This enables the massage therapist to
easily perform several movements to promote deeper relaxation.
Limb rolling, gentle rocking and rhythmic compressions are all massage techniques applied in Traditionl Thai massage to
realign the body energies as well as relaxing the body.
Different levels of pressure are applied onto energy lines in the body according to the Ayurvedic values of balancing body
energy. Forearms, knees, feet and elbows are all used during the massage therapy treatment, to execute different
manipulations and strokes for more effective massage.
