Traditional Thai Massage and Thai Foot Massage / Reflexology Combination

Combining Traditional Thai Massage with Thai Foot Massage / Reflexology will put you in สวรรค์ (‘Heaven’ in Thai) .

Traditional Thai Massage there is constant body contact between the massage therapist and you. The body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked. The concept of metta (loving kindness), based on Buddhist teachings, is an integral part of this practice. You wear loose, comfortable clothing and lie on a firm massage mattress. The massage generally follows designated lines (“sen”) in the body. Your legs and feet can be used to position the body or limbs. In other positions, hands fix the body, while the feet do the massaging. A full Thai massage session may include rhythmic pressing and stretching of the entire body. This may include pulling fingers, toes, ears, cracking knuckles, walking on the recipient’s back, by palm-press, thumb-press, fingers-press and forearm-press in many different positions. There is a standard procedure and rhythm to the massage, which the masseuse will adjust to fit your situation and/or condition.

Thai Foot Massage is relaxing and energizing, but goes far beyond relaxation. Thai Foot Massage (also known as Thai Foot Reflexology) is a form of acupressure that affects the entire body. Stress and toxins can reduce, inhibit or completely block the natural flow of energy along your meridian lines. Inhibited energy flow contributes to illness and disease. In Thai Foot Massage, meridians are called Sen lines. These Sen lines are connected to the body’s internal organs. Thai Foot Massage/Reflexology works on the belief that certain zones of the foot correspond to these organs. It focuses on the reflex areas in these zones to bring a range of health benefits. During a Thai Foot Massage, pressure points along the Sen lines are gently and methodically stimulated to enhance or restore the free flow of energy. Focusing on the lower legs and feet, a typical session includes gentle, rhythmic movements and stretching. There are 10 major energy lines running throughout our body. These create specific pressure points in the foot that can be effectively stimulated.
