What to expect from a Thai massage?
At the start of your treatment, your therapist will assess where your body needs help in healing and may adapt his massage techniques accordingly. He will work systematically from the tips of your toes to the top of your head, rocking you slowly and gently in time with your pulse, before applying the stretches and gentle pressure. He may then use his elbows, forearms, feet and even his knees to work on your entire musculo-skeletal system, aiming to release the tension in your body by opening up its energy channels.
One of the key features of a traditional Thai massage is the blocking and releasing of blood flow, also known as Trigger point therapy. The masseuse may apply sustained pressure – around 30 seconds – during the massage where your legs and arms meet the torso. This pressure is then released and you will feel your limbs suddenly feel a rush of heat as blood floods back in. This is a real circulation booster and although it feels a bit weird it is quite exciting as it’s so different from anything you usually feel.
Thai massage is concluded with a mini head-massage (similar to an Indian head massage), after which the masseur will close your ears with their fingers for a few seconds and then release them, designed to bring your mind and thoughts back to the here and now. Sounds strange but it’s actually a really good way of “bringing you round”…
Thailand is proud of its name, “the Land of Smiles”. You can expect to feel happy and soothed after your massage. You may well experience an unusual sensation of being both calm and energized, and feel lighter, taller or even ironed out. You might not feel sleepy, but do allow yourself to drift back to the real world gradually, and – as with all massage – make sure you drink plenty of water afterwards.
