What Is a Thai Massage

Spacer
Spa TherapyThai Massage is a method that has been adapted to spa treatments in a relatively recent timeframe, but is already known for being both relaxing and energizing. The method utilizes gentle stretches and light pressure along localized areas of the body to relieve chronic tension, improve the ‘balance’ of the body’s energy systems, and increase muscle flexibility.

Thai Massage is administered with the client laying on a futon, which is usually placed on the floor. The massage therapist will then use gentle compression and stretching techniques to loosen the muscles, starting with the abdomen and working outward toward the fingers, toes, and back. Wearing loose-fitting and comfortable clothing is ideal when receiving a Thai massage, though some spas, like the Mandarin Oriental in Miami, will provide you with an outfit to wear during the massage.
