Acupressure, Ayurvedic principles and assisted yoga
Thai massage, also called Thai yoga massage, is “an ancient healing system combining acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures.” It is a different kind of session from an oil massage on a table, and it is worth knowing that before you book. If you have only had Swedish, expect a more active hour.
Your therapist guides you through a series of full-body stretches and adds deep pressure-point work. The postures are assisted, which means the therapist moves you into them and you do not need to be flexible or know any yoga. You stay in a stretch only as long as you are comfortable, and you can say so at any time.
