TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE
Traditional Thai Massage is renowned for its healing properties and health benefits. This type of massage is performed with the patient fully clothed on a low massage bed, which allows the therapist to perform deep stretches and yoga-like exercises. Thai massage follows the Sen lines of the body, which are believed to be the vessels that carry the 'iom' or 'air' throughout the body. The therapist applies pressure to points along these lines to establish equilibrium throughout the body.
Massage Techniques
During a Traditional Thai Massage treatment at Ruan Thai, you will be manipulated into various stretches. Your therapist will use their elbows, hands, fingers, and feet while following a standard procedure and rhythm. Body weight is applied to increase pressure; for greater pressure, the therapist may stand on pressure points on your back or legs.
Traditional Thai or Thai Oil Massage?
The stretches and techniques applied in Thai massage are generally more intense than those in an oil massage treatment. If you're new to Thai massage or prefer a more relaxing experience, consider asking for an oil massage instead.
