Thai Yoga Massage
Thai massage uses gentle pressure and stretching techniques to relax the whole body. Simple techniques such as rubbing, squeezing, thumbing, compressions, beating and range of motion are used to deliver exquisitely deep healing to the recipient.
Thai massage has many health benefits, from lowering stress, improving energy flow and circulation in the body, relieving muscular tension, and enhancing range of motion in the joints.
Thai massage uses gentle pressure and stretching techniques to lower stress by relaxing the body and mind. Thai massage is based on the notion of energy lines, or Sen. Sen or energy lines correspond to different parts of the body, such as the bones, muscles, blood, and nerves. Thai massage uses different techniques to increase the flow of energy in the body.
Thai massage can promote the circulation of both blood and lymph through gentle yoga-like stretches. The stretches increase blood circulation, which fills the body’s tissues with oxygen. This helps promote cell growth and heart health. The gradual, gentle stretching will enhance the person’s flexibility over time, allowing a greater range of motion in the joints.

Thai herbal massage treatment
By heating with steam, Thai herbal balls transfer heat to the body. The natural herbs have a relaxing effect. This results in a very pleasant body feeling and stress reduction. The herbs used in the massage balls have a host of therapeutic benefits that help restore the body’s health by helping to ease pain, heal bruises and soothe your skin by opening the pores and bringing a medicinal heat to muscles to induce relaxation. It’s also a fabulous treatment, to target specific pain points and ease the pain. Another fabulously relaxing part of this treatment, and another one of my favourite moves, is the stretching which is seriously relaxing. You can literally feel the tension in your body release like rubber-bands. Think Yin Yoga done for you!
