Thai yoga massage is a traditional therapy combining acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga posture. It is a good option for those who are looking for a more active type of massage because you will be moving and participating instead of lying down throughout your massage.
Throughout the years, it has gained popularity and has been a part of services offered by almost every spa in the world, but the differences between Thai massage to Western massage are distinct and difficult to miss.
While most massages are performed on a massage bed or table, this kind of massage is best performed on a firm mat laid on the floor to give access to the therapist to use their body weight, rather than muscular force, for the transmission of pressure. The practitioners use their hands, thumbs, elbows, forearms, and sometimes even their feet to reduce tension in your muscles.
Thai massage is based on the idea that energy moves through your body along predictable lines or pathways known as sens. The practitioner will move your body into yoga-like positions to increase the flow of energy along the sens instead of using massage oils all over the body with gliding and kneading techniques.
If you’re uncomfortable with undressing for your massage sessions, you might want to take a look at Thai massage. You’ll be fully clothed during the whole session, and your therapist will use a combination of stretching, pulling, and rocking techniques to relieve tension, promote relaxation, and improve flexibility and circulation.
