Traditional Thai massage is an centuries old practice which has been enjoyed for its theraputic benefits in Thailand and parts of Asia. An important tradition in Thailand, originally developed by Budist monks in the Thai temples and enjoyed by Thai royal family. The massage is done on a mat and the massage therapist employs a variety of yoga stretches to improve range of motion and deep-pressure massage to stimulate circulation. Thai massage is intended to improve the energy flow throughout the body and allow you to become more connected to your body. In Thailand, a traditional Thai massage session lasts two hours. At THAIESSENCE, we offer 1 hour, 1 1/2 hour and 2 hour sessions. There are two types of traditional Thai massage: Royal Thai massage was used in the Royal Palace. It is a Thai healing art and, in the past, was used only with the king and his relatives. The masseur or masseuse uses strong finger tips to apply deep pressure along key energy lines. Some may find this a bit intense but it provides the most therapeutic benefit to treat muscle tension and is very relaxing afterward. Traditional Thai massage has been used between Thai people for a thousand years. Hands, palms, elbows, knees and feet are used with bending and stretching in yoga postures. At THAIESSENCE we combine the best of royal Thai massage and Traditional Thai massage in our traditional Thai massage session.
