Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient healing art that has been preserved in the Temples of Thailand and passed down orally from teacher to pupil since the 3rd century BC.

Chinese and Indian roots
Thai Massage has its roots in two forms of body work. From the Chinese, Thai has incorporated ‘acupressure’ where pressure points and channels known as Sen lines are stimulated. From the Indian tradition, Thai Massage received the beautiful stretches and postures of applied ‘Hatha Yoga’.

Thai Massage is very different to Western methods of massage and may be more accurately described as “Yoga Massage” with acupressure. If you’re looking for something different, try Thai!

Rejuvenating
Thai Massage works on a number of different levels from general physical tension and stress to issues that are more emotionally based. It is a comprehensive and rejuvenating form of body work that can be both deeply relaxing and highly energising. Ultimately, Thai Massage aims to promote physical, mental and emotional health and to restore balance, where imbalances exist, by stimulating the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Individual needs
Thai Massage can be beneficial for everyone. All treatments are tailored to meet individual needs and you don’t have to be flexible or have ever practised Yoga to benefit. Our Thai practitioner will work with you within your own range of movement and state of health.

Thai Massage usually takes place on the floor and a soft mat is provided for your comfort. You will need to wear loose, comfortable clothing such as a tracksuit and T-shirt. Expect a short consultation before your treatment.
