Thai massage is an eastern massage modality akin to yoga. Like yoga, Thai massage employs stretching, though in this case the massage practitioner moves the client’s body through the stretches and includes gentle muscle compression and rocking. Unlike western massage modalities such as Swedish massage, Thai Massage is done with the client fully clothed, on a floor mat, without oils or lotions. Research on Thai massage is showing it to be effective in the elimination of back pain. It is terrifically energizing and rejuvenating, and you're going to love it!
A form of compression massage, reflexology is based on the theory that areas in the feet and hands are related to every organ and region of the body. By applying pressure to these “reflex” points the massage practitioner works with the body’s energy flow to stimulate healing and maintain balance in physical function. Reflexology can reduce pain, increase relaxation, and improve circulation.
