Dating back some 1000 years, traditional Thai massage is an ancient healing system that combines broad and targeted acupressure, stimulation and manipulation of energy lines called sen, and assisted yoga postures. This traditional ancient healing practice, called 'nuad bo rarn' in Thai, stands in sharp contrast to western massage therapies.

The practitioner uses thumbs, palms, forearms, elbows, knees and feet to create a dance of movement on the body of the recipient. The recipient remains fully clothed during a treatment, which would be loose fitting, with shoes and socks removed.

No oils or lotions are used in Traditional Thai massage. Often called Thai Yoga massage where the body is pressed, pulled, stretched and rocked. Performed on a traditional Thai matt on the floor, the overall effect is one of deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and physical and mental well being, while also simultaneously releasing the bodies energy.

The result of a full-body Thai treatment is often an exciting and powerful mind/body healing experience, leaving the recipient feeling refreshed and more flexible. Those who have regular Thai massage come to enjoy the deep pressure and stretching techniques.
