CLASSIC THAI MASSAGE
Classical Thai Massage is derived from ancient Chinese medical knowledge combined with acupressure techniques, Ayurveda and passive yoga. Massage consists of slow and rhythmic pressure on specific parts of the muscles so as to bring about their relaxation. The ritual begins with a foot massage, through successive parts of the body, heading towards the head, which in Buddhist philosophy is a sacred point. It is performed with the hands, thumbs, wrists, forearms and also elbows, knees, feet.
Importantly, the massage is not performed in one position. The person being massaged arranges himself or herself during the treatment in various positions characteristic of yoga, in which successive parts of the body are massaged. This arrangement performs two important functions - the pressure on the muscles leads to their relaxation and release from painful contraction, making it easier for energy to flow freely in the body, while yogic positions stimulate circulation and have a positive effect on joint mobility. Unlike Balinese massage, classical Thai massage does not use essential oils, so it is a dry massage.
Thai Classic Massage is a great way to relieve fatigue and stress. It will relax your body and relieve it of tension. Right after the massage, our guests are treated to traditional Matum tea, prepared from the Bael fruit.
