Thai massage - what to expect?

Thai Yoga Massage is practised on a mat on the floor. There is no need for the use of oil and the receiver wears loose, warm and comfortable clothes that don’t restrict movement. It is best to avoid heavy meals before the treatment and to drink plenty of water afterwards as toxins are released and these need to be flushed away.

This very powerful massage uses the body's natural life force to release the blockages, allowing freedom of movement again , and therefore improving vitality. The therapists use also their feet, elbows, thumbs and knees to help free the tension trapped within the body. It’s firm but meditative movements of pressing rocking and yoga-like positions, have a distinctive quality.

The massage  is mainly concerned with balancing the energy systems of the body. It can take 4-5 days for this re-balance to be complete. Thai Yoga Massage normally leaves the receiver feeling energised, calm and centred, but changes within the physical, mental and emotional body do take place over a period of time, so is particularly beneficial when received as a course of treatments.

Thai massage is usually done from my home , or potentially in your own home (as long as you get enough floor space : at least 2x3m)
