What can you expect from Thai massage?

Thai massage is condoned while being dressed, on the floor, with the massaged person lying on the professional mattress. The person being massaged takes many various positions: lying on the front, back, sides and the sitting and reversed stance. The important thing is the meditation state, that’s why the only acceptable ambient is relaxing music or complete silence, which helps with the concentration and relax.

At the beginning, the masseuse will rate which spots on the body require more attention and customize the massage techniques. Therefore the massage is not 100% symmetrical. In Thai massage enormous attention goes to pressurize the specific points on the whole body – always starting from the feet and finishing on the forehead. The masseuse uses various techniques - rhythmical, slow body pressure, the element of stretching, passive yoga and stroking of energetic channels. All these activities are condoned to release the tensions and unlock the energy flow. The massage brings deep relax, which causes the body to function properly and brings a lot of positive alterations.

One of the most important activities in the Thai massage is blocking and unblocking the blood flow, which is professionally called “the therapy of strong-points”. Thai massage always finishes on the head, at which the masseuse blocks the ears, which helps in regaining the thoughts of massaged person before “coming back from the land of dreams”. Before massaging the head the masseuse will always wash her hands, because in Buddhist religion head is considered to be the holy part of body and shouldn’t be massaged in the same way as the other parts.
