Oil massage
If pure relaxation is your goal, an oil massage might be the perfect match. This type of massage uses warm, aromatic oils to create a soothing atmosphere. The therapist uses smooth, gliding strokes to ease muscle tension and melt away stress. The use of warm oil serves two purposes. First, it allows for smoother gliding over your skin, enabling the therapist to reach deeper muscle layers and work out stubborn knots. Second, some massage oils are infused with essential oils, which can offer additional aromatherapy benefits. Lavender oil, for example, is known for its calming properties, while peppermint oil can help invigorate the senses.
Traditional Thai massage
The traditional Thai massage is different from Western massages as it mainly focuses on circulation and pressure points, which help promote internal health and heal many symptoms caused from cramped muscles. This classic Thai massage is also known as Thai Yoga massage as the recipient will be placed on a mattress on the floor and the practitioner will use his or her whole body from hands, knees, legs to feet to stretch the muscles and release pressure from the body. The recipient will need to be fully dressed on comfortable, loose clothing as no oil or any massage products are used during the session.
Thai herbal hot compress massage
This variety of Thai massage starts with the traditional way where pressure points are activated and the muscles are gently stretched, then a hot herbal compress will be pressed over the entire body in order to soothe the muscle and stimulate the vital organs and senses. This powerful hot ball contains a full range of beneficial Thai dried herbs such as turmeric, kaffir lime leaves, lemon grass, galangal, camphor, eucalyptus, and more, which will help reduce muscle stress, promote flexibility of both muscles and joints, and nourish the skin.
Thai hot stone massage
Hot stone massage is a deeply relaxing and healing form of massage that uses heated volcanic stones and warm oil massage. The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure, if desired. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system.
