Thai massage uses gentle pressure and stretching techniques to relax the whole body. This is an ancient healing practice that originated in India. It generally follows the energy (Sen) lines on the body and stimulates/improves the internal organs.
Unlike Swedish massage, in which a person passively lies on a bed, the client lies on the floor and participates more actively in the massage. During the massage, you will be pulled, stretched, and rocked at the hands of your Thai massage therapist. They will use every part of their body in order to do this, including their thumbs, elbows, and knees. Some masseuses might even walk on you.
