Thai massage is a traditional therapeutic massage that combines stretching, acupressure, and rhythmic movements to release muscle tension, improve flexibility, and promote deep relaxation. It works by stimulating the body’s energy lines while gently mobilising joints and soft tissue.
Unlike oil-based massages, traditional Thai massage is performed in loose clothing on a mat or firm surface. The western preference is oil-based Thai massage.
For traditional Thai massage, wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows movement.
Lavender Thai Therapy offers a range of professional massage treatments, including:
Each massage is tailored to your individual needs and comfort level.
Thai massage focuses on assisted stretching and pressure along energy lines, helping improve mobility and flexibility.
Deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to relieve chronic tension, stiffness, and muscle pain. Your therapist can recommend the best option based on your goals.
No, not at all. Thai massage is suitable for people of all flexibility levels. Your therapist will always work within your comfort range and adapt stretches and pressure to suit your body.
