Thai Massage: A Blend of Stretching and Pressure
Thai massage isn’t just a massage. Its part assisted yoga, stretching, and acupressure all in one. Unlike most Western techniques, you’re fully clothed and guided through a series of stretches while the therapist uses their hands, thumbs, elbows, and even feet to apply pressure. It’s common to describe Thai massage as a physical adventure because you’re moved and stretched in ways you might not expect.
This style is pretty invigorating, and I always leave feeling limber. If you’re tight from long periods of sitting or need to improve flexibility, Thai massage can help out quite a bit. On top of that, the physical stretches encourage better circulation and flexibility, making it especially helpful for athletes or anyone who wants an energizing approach to bodywork.
