Thai massage is unlike any other treatment on our menu. Performed without oil and with you fully clothed in comfortable wear, it combines rhythmic compression along the body's energy lines with guided, assisted stretching.
Guests often describe it as somewhere between a massage and being gently moved through a yoga sequence — which is why it is sometimes called "lazy man's yoga".
Your therapist works using their palms, thumbs, forearms and feet, applying steady pressure in a rhythmic sequence while guiding your body through a series of stretches. There is no oil and no need to undress; you will be given comfortable clothing to change into.
The treatment usually begins at the feet and works upwards through the legs, back, arms, shoulders and neck. Pressure and the depth of each stretch are adjusted to your flexibility and comfort throughout.
