Traditional Thai Massage
What is it?
This traditional healing art has historical and spiritual roots from Thailand and neighboring Asian countries and cultures. It is a meditative and spiritually enhanced form of manual therapy that integrates the whole body and energy systems. This is inspired by an approach and mindset called Metta, which means ‘loving-kindness’ or ‘compassion’, along with influences from Buddhism, Yoga, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
What to Expect...
Traditional Thai Massage is performed over the clothes on super spongy, supportively yielding floor mats which are specifically made for this treatment. Make sure you wear comfortable clothes that are easy to move around in. This treatment will move you, but you won’t have to lift a finger!
Through a sequence of specialized massage techniques and postures you will experience slow moving stretches, gentle joint mobilizations, and broadly applied compressions from head to toe and back again! This massage facilitates full body and mind relaxation and restoration. Some say it’s like having your yoga done for you while you get a massage!
Anticipated Results…
You will emerge from the coziness of the Traditional Thai Massage mats to float through the rest of your day. After this treatment the whole body has more freedom and space to move with calm confidence and grace. Your joints will be more balanced and aligned, your mind clear, and your mood elevated.
Who can benefit the most from Traditional Thai Massage?
Anyone who would like to increase their range of motion, restore their body’s sense of vitality, rest, relax and stretch, and those who are looking for grounded, compassionate touch. It’s also a lesser known form of massage. Those who enjoy trying something a little different will definitely enjoy this experience!
