Seated Thai Massage

The traditional healing massage of Thailand originated in India during the Buddha's lifetime, over 2500 years ago. This form of massage involves manipulation using stretching techniques and gentle pressure along the SEN or energy lines of the body. It has a close relationship with Indian Ayurvedic medicine, yoga, traditional Chinese medicine and Japanese Shiatsu.

The aim of Thai massage is to release toxins from the joints, muscles and connective tissue, and stimulate energy flow by gentle pressure on specific energy points. The therapist applies pressure to the client's clothed body and carries out a range of gentle stretching movements. Clients are advised to wear loose, comfortable clothes.

Thai massage helps to relieve tension within the body and can be effectively used for pain relief. It improves the function of the lymph glands and blood circulation, balances the nervous system and clears out blocked and stagnant energy. It is appropriate for a range of musculo-skeletal problems including back, neck and shoulder pain or tension.

This form of massage is especially good for releasing stress and tension, and encouraging relaxation of both mind and body. Clients report that Thai massage is soothing and relaxing and leaves them feeling energised, refreshed and with a sense of well-being.

A full consultation is carried out prior to your treatment.  The massage itself lasts approximately 45 miutes.  Please allow 1 hour for your first visit and 50 mins for subsequent treatments.  Cost £25.
