What is Thai Massage?
Thai massage combines stretching with compression to elongate muscles and provide a wider range of motion of the joints. Thai is mostly beneficial for Rotator cuffs and hip muscles. There are two styles of Thai: Table Thai & Floor Thai.
How Does Angels Touch provide Thai massage?
Since Table Thai has specific areas that it treats, it can be incorporated during a Deep Tissue session and can improve range of motion immediately. People who like deep tissue typically like Thai since the stretching can reach the joints and connective tissues. People who are ticklish also prefer Thai massage since it uses compression (vs a glide) to relieve tightness. Angel’s Touch provides YOUR level of stretching; this approach makes Thai gentle. Majority of Thai massage places available usually force the stretch.
Information to prepare for a Thai massage
Generally, Thai massage is not relaxing, the benefits will occur after the stretch. The therapist will move your arms and legs around and ask you to breathe. Thai massage is like having a private yoga instructor. If you choose to experience a full Thai session, prepare your mind to stretch, and to breathe, and I recommend wearing to the session:
Yoga clothes or (2-piece bathing suit for women) Or (shorts for men)
