Unlike most massage modalities that utilize massage oils and require you to disrobe and climb under a sheet on a massage table, Thai massage is performed while you are fully clothed, usually on a padded mat on the floor. Thai massage employs stretching, pulling, and rocking techniques to relieve tension and enhance flexibility and range of motion. The therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches and applies deep muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure.
