Thai massage originated in the eastern parts of Asia. In this massage, the acupuncture spots are identified and used to stretch or loosen the muscles to provide relief from tension and stress. It also helps to loosen the muscles in the joints and relieve pain thereof.
Thai massages are essentially deep tissue massages and usually performed on the floor. The masseuse/masseur moves all around the client to access a wide range of angles above the client’s body for better control. This helps when the client’s frame is big. Additionally, a Thai massage is also designed to put the client through many stretches over the entire body.

It may be normal to experience mild soreness after a deep tissue Thai massage. However, it is minimal and subsides throughout the day. The masseuse recommends the application of ice-packs to remove any pain and soreness as it helps to remove inflammation.
Thai Massage uses gentle stretching techniques to relax different parts of the body. This type of massage has been observed to reduce levels of stress hormones and even a specific stress marker in the saliva.
