What is Thai Massage?
Thai massage is a 2,500-year-old healing system that combines acupressure, assisted yoga stretches, and energy line work. Often called "lazy person's yoga," it improves flexibility and energy flow without any effort on your part.
The Technique
The therapist uses their hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches while applying deep muscle compression and rhythmic pressing along energy lines (sen lines). No oil is used.

“The Thai massage was incredible — I felt so much more flexible afterwards. The therapist used proper technique the entire session, none of that tourist-spa rushing. My back and hips had been tight for weeks from the flight; an hour later they weren't.”
