Originating from India more than 2500 years ago, the art of Thai massage has become over the year one of the favorite massage treatment. Let us introduce you to a few key elements:

• Thai massage are especially recommended to treat sciatica, back pain and headaches.
• The 6 key points of traditional massage are: Yoga, Exercise, Meditation, Reflexology, Acupressure and Healing Art
• Thai massage is known as a “yoga massage” because of the many similarities in the positions used in Yoga and Thai massage. Obviously since you have a masseuse helping you it is a bit easier!
• Thai massage is a combination of stretching and pressing. Therapists not only use their hands but their elbows, feet, forearms and knees.  The patient is fully clothed and usually lies down on a thin mattress directly on the floor. Therapists will pull your limbs, toes, fingers, ears, will sometimes walk on you and crack a few knuckles on the way. It is very different from an oil or Swedish massage, but it can be as relaxing
• It is strongly recommend not to have a big deal before a Thai massage, and for obvious reasons. Having someone step on you repeatedly, especially on your back, cannot be very comfortable with a full stomach
• Pregnant women have to be very cautious before having a Thai massage and should always ask for a specialized therapist.
• The Thai word for “it hurts!” is “Jep!” but you very seldom have to use it don’t worry
