TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE
This is an ancient healing system combining acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. It uses no oils or lotions. The customer wears loose, comfortable clothing and usually lies on a mat or firm mattress on the floor, remaining clothed during a treatment. There is constant body contact between the giver and receiver, but rather than rubbing on muscles, the full body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked. The legs and feet of the therapist are used to position the body or limbs, which are rhythmically pressed and stretched. This may include pulling fingers, toes, ears, and moving the customer's body into many different positions. The treatment is normally at least 60 minutes.
THAI MODERN OIL MASSAGE
This is a therapeutic full body massage and a holistic traditional treatment for relieving stress, tension and for the treatment of back pain, stiff neck, shoulder pain, and sports injuries including muscle and tendon strain. It combines modern scientific knowledge of anatomy of physiology with the disciplines of traditional oriental medicine. The treatment includes a pressure point massage for your whole body then oil is applied for a combined deep tissue and relaxation massage. It finishes with the foot massage using a Thai pressurepoint foot massage technique to stimulate the nervous system, directly affecting the bodily organs and glands as well as helping with water retention problems. The massage normally takes at least 60 minutes.
SWEDISH TREATMENT
The therapist generally starts a full body Swedish treatment by lubricating the customer’s back with massage oil. Long gliding strokes are then used to warm up the muscle tissue and gently loosen muscle tightness. Next other techniques, stroking, gliding, kneading, rubbing, tapping and vibration, are employed to improve circulation, soothe muscles and bring about feelings of relaxation and wellbeing. When finished with the back, therapist continues with the back of each leg, and then the front of each leg, both arms, and generally finishes with neck and shoulders. The treatment normally takes at least 60 minutes.
BAMBOO MASSAGE
Bamboo massage is carried out using warm bamboo sticks of various sizes and thickness. After laying down on the massage table, the therapist applies oil on your body to prepare your skin for the bamboo. The bamboo cane replaces the therapist's hands, and it is used to give a deep, firm massage, although a relaxing treatment is also possible with less pressure. The cane is held by the therapist and rolled over the muscle with the same strokes they would use with their hands. The muscle is then kneaded, assisting in the release of tension and easing of knots. The warmth of the bamboo is a big factor in the effectiveness of this massage. The heat allows deeper tissue penetration, helping the removal of knots and treatment of muscular injuries, aches and pains.
