What does Thai massage feel like?
Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than more classic forms of massage.
Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage, because the therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Many people say Thai massage is like doing yoga without any work.

What is Thai massage?
Thai massage is believed to have been developed by Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha, physician to Buddha, more than 2,500 years ago in India.
It made its way to Thailand, where the Ayurvedic techniques and principles gradually became influenced by traditional Chinese medicine.
For centuries, Thai massage was performed by monks as one component of Thai medicine.
As your muscles are stretched and relaxed, they soften. Once the body is relaxed and open, energy will begin to flow freely where it was once stagnant or blocked. We constrict our energy flow by holding tension in our bodies. Physical and/or emotional stress is the cause of this tension.
Thai Massage moves energy along through the Sen lines. Sen lines are similar to the Chinese system of meridian lines used in acupuncture. During your Thai massage, as the energy moves along these Sen lines, you may experience warmth, tingling, or electric sensations.
This is the life energy moving. We believe that once the energy begins to move, life is ultimately improved. We feel that the body, mind, and emotions all work together and directly affect one another.
