Thai massage
Traditional Thai massage — active stretches and pressure on the energy lines, through clothing on a mat.
WHAT IS IT?
Thai massage is an ancient healing method founded by the Indian physician Dr. Shivago around 2000 BC.
Thai massage combines the wisdom of reflexology, yoga, acupressure and ayurveda. Together they form a kind of meditative therapy.
HOW IS IT DONE?
During the massage the whole body is worked with stretches and pressures, and the joints and energy lines are opened. The masseuse uses the weight of her own body to apply strong pressure with the hands, feet, knees and elbows.
The ideal length of a session is 2 – 2.5 hours. Good results can also be reached in 1 – 1.5 hours. A shorter massage focuses more on the back.
WHAT IS IT FOR?
Thai massage harmonises the body, gives energy, relieves stress and calms the mind. After the massage you feel relaxed and alert at the same time. Thai massage effectively eases various kinds of back pain.
The massage is carried out on a mat. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing during the massage. Thai massage suits both men and women.
