Traditional Thai and Oil Massages

Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient healing system combining acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures. This massage consists of movements stretching out the muscles throughout the body’s energy lines and points. The massage helps to reduce stress and increase blood circulation, which leads to well-being and reduces/prevents pain in the body.

The therapist will incorporate yogic stretching movements as they knead and press muscles along the body’s energy lines with the hands and feet. Thai massage combines the principles of acupressure whereby the Sen is stimulated, which is said to balance the energy system in the body.

Passive stretching can also help open up the body, which can help increase flexibility and relieve tension within the joints and the muscles. A Thai massage treatment typically begins at the feet with the client lying face down. It is more energetic and rigorous than your usual massage. The therapist will use their hands and feet to apply pressure, and the treatment usually is done dry, or through the clothes.  Lamai offers treatments which combine traditional dry techniques and oil.  We use, Lavender, Coconut or Lemongrass oils - please see below for prices.

Although traditionally done dry (without oil), Thai massage is often combined with oil where appropriate, including unique formulations that gently heat those areas that need it.
