Thai Massage is an ancient technique; a therapist specifically trained in the art stretches your body with assisted yoga poses. This massage technique focuses on energy points, called “sen.” When the massage therapist stretches your body, she also presses and massages along the sen lines.
To release muscular tension, Our Thai therapist presses feet, hands, thumbs, knuckles, and fingers into certain points while holding you in a stretch. This helps relieve areas of stress and tension. Techniques involved include acupressure, tissue compression, and soft tissue manipulation.
A Thai massage works in similar ways to regular yoga poses. As you hold a pose, your blood slows to targeted areas. When the pose is released, circulation flows back into the area. There are some positions, including the plough, shoulder stand, and spinal twist that are particularly effective with circulation. Inverted poses can help with lymphatic drainage.
