Thai massage actually originated in India during the Buddha’s lifetime, over 2500 years ago. As Buddhism spread from India, so did this form of healing massage, which involves manipulation using stretching techniques and gentle pressure along the meridians or energy lines of the body to release toxins and waste materials from the joints, muscles and connective tissue, and stimulate internal organs by gentle pressure on specific energy points.
Table Thai Massage is a fully clothed, energising massage using pressure points and stretches to invigorate and rebalance the whole body. A bit like shiatsu, it uses body weight and Tai Chi like energy movements so it is a slow, rythmical and graceful massage. This form of massage is especially good for releasing stress and tension, and encouraging relaxation of both mind and body.
