Origins of Thai massage

Thai massage is more than a massage. It’s a centuries-old healing art that works on body, energy and mind.

Restoring the body’s energy balance

Thai massage follows the Sen lines of the body, believed to be the pathways that carry energy (or “air”) throughout the body. The therapist applies pressure to points along these lines to restore balance and equilibrium.

A unique physical technique

Thai massage differs from Western massage in the way the therapist uses their body weight to perform the movements. They lean into the body using their hands and straight forearms to apply firm pressure and, in some positions, may use their feet on pressure points.

There is a standard sequence and rhythm to every treatment, which your therapist adjusts to suit you. You’ll be guided through a variety of yoga-like positions, but deep, static and rhythmic pressure forms the heart of the treatment.

Healing through touch

True traditional Thai massage requires a compassionate therapist. Humility, awareness and concentration allow the therapist to connect more deeply with themselves and their client, and that’s the spirit our Thai-trained therapists bring to every treatment in Sea Point.
