Massage Treatments
Traditional Thai
Traditional Thai Massage, also known as Thai Yoga Therapy, is a centuries-old therapeutic technique with origins in Buddhist tradition. It is now one of the most popular massage techniques in the world.Thai massage is based on the principle that many physical and emotional problems are caused by the blocking of vital energy channels within the body; very similar to the theory behind acupressure. Our therapist uses their hands, feet, knees and elbows, to exert pressure on these channels, whilst pulling and pushing limbs into yoga-like stretches. This is what essentially distinguishes the Thai style of massage from other forms of massage, which are usually associated with muscle manipulation.After a massage treatment, people usually emerge feeling energized. It is also believed that regular treatment can have longer-term benefits, such as improved circulation and detoxification.
Deep Tissue
Our Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Our massage therapist uses slower strokes or friction techniques across the grain of the muscle. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as “adhesions”).This type of massage recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes), and patients who have sustained physical injury.

Combination Thai and Oil
The Combination Thai & Oil Massage is a combination of Traditional Thai and Oil massages that eases away anxieties and tension. The touching of pressure points and the long stroke technique with organic oil is designed to meet your individual needs, bringing your body and mind into perfect equilibrium.
Foot Reflexology
Our luxurous Thai Foot Massage is a massage of the lower legs and feet that involves hands on stretching and massage to “open” Sen (energy) Lines, along with the use of a stick to stimulate the reflex points on the feet which correspond to the internal organs of the body. Thai Foot Massage stimulates these points to promote general health and well-being.Traditional Thai Massage and Thai Foot Massage compliment each other beautifully. Thai Massage balances the elements of the mind and body, while Thai Foot Massage stimulates the internal organs, giving the receiver an holistic treatment.
