Why Thai Massage?

The technique of Thai massage differs from traditional massage by its use of the body’s energy line system, known as Sen lines.  The massage involves deep massage and stretching, and it happens on the floor on a firm mattress or a mat. 

It is a therapeutic procedure that provides relaxation and restores healthy blood circulation.  It can also treat energy blockages, weak, dysfunctional organs, aches and pains, stress and tension, flexibility, paralysis, nerve problems, and postural alignments.

Thai massage is more rigorous than other forms of massage, you may walk away from your massage session feeling more energized.  It can also be referred to as Thai yoga massage because your massage therapist may use his or her arms, knees, and feet in addition to hands to manipulate the muscles through yoga-like movements.

Now you are probably wondering, ‘what is an energy line”.  Energy lines are invisible and cannot be verified anatomically – they are perceived to circulate throughout the body to maintain health and vitality.  

There are said to be 72,000 lines.  Thais believe 10 main lines are sufficient to treat the whole body and its internal organs.  When this energy flow is blocked or restricted, it creates sickness or disease.  To clear these blockages, Thai massage combines the application of pressure with manipulation, adjustment, and muscle stretching in full-body work, which improves overall health and well-being.

Don’t shy away from the unknown, rather learn some of the benefits of a Thai Massage.

Benefits of Thai Massage

Mindful Rest

Lying in a dimly-lit room, surrendering to the here and now, allowing your body and mind to flow as slow, methodical movements lull you into a restful, centered state, disengaging from the hubbub around you and sensory overload of life, gives you the space and time to let go of stresses and strains.

Eases Muscle & Joint Pain

When it comes to affecting your emotional and physical wellbeing, the power of human touch is extraordinary.  One instant result of relaxing into a Thai massage is how the kneading, rocking, and static pressure can work its therapeutic magic on tired and aching muscles and alleviate tension in joints and fascia. 

Release Energy

Movements that manipulate, massage, stretch, and create pressure are a way of maintaining internal balance and connecting the body, mind, and beyond in harmony, releasing energy along the way.

Customized Therapy

A well-trained massage therapist will focus on areas of the body that need more work as well as vary the strength from light touches to deeper tissue massage and more demanding stretches.  The key is to feel relaxed and comfortable even if Thai Massage is challenging your body at times.

Circulatory & Lymphatic Boost

More oxygen and greater detoxification promote greater mental clarity, enhances energy levels, and bring about a raft of health advantages.

Positive Emotions
