Thai massage is used as part of an integrated massage session. It is not offered as a separate service.

Thai Massage is a 2500 year old technique originating from the spread of Buddhism in India and Ayurvedic healing traditions. The founder of Thai Massage "Father Doctor" Shivaga Komarpaj, was a doctor, friend and contemporary to the Buddha.

Often referred to as the "Lazy Man's Yoga," Thai Massage is a technique that involves a unique combination of gentle rocking and stretching using range of motion and acupressure techniques applied through clothing without oils. Thai massage stretches all the major muscle groups of the body, which helps to open and realign the body. Habitual poor posture can result in pain and lack of mobility in the muscles and joints. The positions of Thai massage are designed to improve range of motion, relax and lengthen the muscles, and relieve any pressure caused by poor alignment. Even those who are extremely flexible can benefit from Thai massage, because passive stretching allows you to relax further into the stretch than would be possible on your own.

Thai massage practitioners use hands, feet, elbows, knees and legs to stretch, balance and energize the recipient's body. The stretching often takes the form of assisted yoga, and the massage itself relies upon the massage therapist kneading the muscles, applying pressure to marma (accupressure) points, and flushing the toxins and dead cells from the body.
