The technique that Thai massage practitioners use is very different from what people in the West may be accustomed to. Unlike Swedish or shiatsu massage techniques, in which a person passively lies on a bed, the client lies on the floor and participates more actively in the massage.

Thai massage is an ancient healing practice that requires a touch more active participation than other types of massage. Thanks to yoga-like stretching elements, Thai massage is sometimes referred to as lazy person's yoga.

Benefits of Thai Massage :

1. Stress is not necessarily bad. Often, stress can act as a positive motivator that might help push people to perform better and accomplish more in their personal and professional lives.

2. Research has shown that Thai massage can increase people's physical energy levels. One randomized trial examined the effects of Thai and Swedish massages in people who were experiencing fatigue.

3. The results revealed that Thai massage increased energy and mental stimulation, while Swedish massage was more likely to improve relaxation and sleep.

4. Thai massage technique is based on the notion of energy lines, or Sen. Most practitioners believe that there are various Sen, or channels, of energy within the body.

5. It is only through Thai massage that you can derive the benefits of Trigger Point Treatments and Neuro Muscular therapy – both of which rejuvenate your body.

6. Thai massage is very effective in relaxing your body as it encompasses the whole body. The masseur generally starts from the feet and moves his or her way up to the head using gentle and flowing exercise movements.
