Deep tissue massage

Deep tissue massage provides pain relief from chr0nically tight muscles.  Slow and deep massage techniques focus on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to provide relief from long term muscle pain and promote overall feelings of health and well being.  You might feel sore for day or two after a deep tissue massage and this is quite common but your therapist will take the time to talk your treatment through with you in advance of your session.

Thai Foot Massage

Thai Foot Massage is a massage of the lower legs and feet that involves hands on stretching and massage to “open” Sen (energy) Lines, along with the use of a stick to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body. Thai Foot Massage stimulates these points to promote general health and well-being.

A Thai Foot Massage will usually last for one hour and the therapist may spend the last 10 minutes massaging the hands and sometimes the shoulders too.

Thailand has evolved as a centre for massage, partly due to geographical location and partly to the peoples’ predisposition towards massage, with traditional techniques from India and China diverging in Thailand to give us Traditional Thai Massage and Thai Foot Massage.

Thai Foot Massage takes it’s origins from China where the art has been practiced for over 5000 years, and Thai Foot Massage, as seen everywhere in Thailand today, has developed from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean foot masseuses.

Traditional Thai Massage and Thai Foot Massage compliment each other beautifully. Thai Massage balances the elements of the mind and body, while Thai Foot Massage stimulates the internal organs, giving the receiver an holistic treatment.

Thai Foot Massage benefits include:

• Improved circulation and toxin removal
• Stimulated lymphatic drainage and immune system boost
• Reduced stiffness and improved flexibility
• Accelerated physical healing
• Stress relief
• Improved sleep
• Clarity of mind
