Thai Traditional Spa

Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage, because the therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Many people say Thai massage is like doing yoga without any work. Traditional Thai massage seeks to provide a full body experience while harmonizing and aligning the energies that flow all throughout the body.

According to certain traditional Thai massage concepts, there is a network of energy lines that run all across the body. The life energy that can be found in the body courses through these lines. However, sometimes, the flow of energy is disrupted by blocks and deficiencies. Thai massage utilizes slight pressure and a healing touch to get rid of these disruptions and to allow life energy to circulate freely throughout the body.

Thai massage is similar to acupressure in that it utilizes the concept of special pressure points that, when stimulated, have a lot of positive medicinal effects on the body. Of course, since the points are merely pressed instead of poked with needles, they are not subjected to as much stress.
