A technique performed on a floor-mat in loose clothing or on a massage table. Every muscle is pulled and stretched to within its limits. Ideal for the physically active. One of the oldest massage techniques on earth, Thai massage attempts to bestow a sense of enlightenment, giving us a moment where our relationship with the world is more harmonious. Making use of the ancient knowledge of energy and pressure points, Thai method is truly a rewarding and sublime experience. Thai Massage combines gentle, yoga-like stretching with massage of the muscles, tendons, pressure points and energy lines, or Sen. While there are hundreds of energy lines in the body, Thai massage focuses on the ten main energy lines, or Sip Sen. Practitioners use their hands — and also their feet and knees, in order to facilitate an optimal release of stress and tension; this release is designed to balance and realign the body over a period of time. Thai massage sessions can last from one hour to three hours or more. The treatment style is slow, deliberate, gentle, non-invasive, and suitable for even the most fragile person.
