Traditional Thai massage is a treatment that’s often referred to as “passive yoga” as your body is moved through various postures to help relieve pressure, promote flexibility and range of motion and restore the flow of energy to the body.
Thai Massage consists of a series of interactive, flowing movements, stretches and rhythmic massage, along all the body's energy lines and pressure points. This often deeply meditative experience can result in a profound release from mental and physical stress.
