Thai Massage: What to Expect

Do you seek to live with less tension and more ease and flow? Looking for support during a major life transition? Thai Massage may be exactly what your body and mind is searching for. Read on to learn more about the newest modality to be offered at Sattva…

WHAT IS IT?
Thai massage (aka Thai yoga massage) is a sacred healing treatment that dates back to the second millennia BC. It is a form of bodywork that combines dynamic assisted stretching that may feel similar to Yoga postures, and applying physical pressure along specific lines in the body.

WHO IS IT FOR?
Thai massage can treat ailments such as headaches, knee pain, back, shoulder and neck pain, and premenstrual tension. It is also effective for numbness or loss of feeling in conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, or after a stroke. If you have any health concerns or are pregnant and are not sure if Thai massage is suitable for you, check with your doctor.

HOW IS A SESSION?
The experience is on a futon, fully clothed. Hands, thumbs, feet, and sometimes elbows are used to work energy lines of the body, and Yoga-type stretching movements are provided in a rhythmic rocking manner to help the recipient release deep and superficial tension and increase flexibility.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
- Increased flexibility
- Relieves pain and muscle tension
- Improves range of motion
- Promotes relaxation and relieves stress
- Improves range of motion
- Improves circulation and lymphatic flow
- Reduces headaches and increases energy level
