Thai oil massage blends traditional Thai techniques, like acupressure and gentle stretching, with warm aromatherapy oils for deep relaxation, improved circulation, and stress relief, offering a gentler, more flowing experience than traditional dry Thai massage, using flowing strokes and kneading to soothe muscles and calm the mind. It's ideal for those seeking physical rejuvenation and mental peace, leaving skin soft and promoting overall wellness through the therapeutic properties of essential oils.
What it is
• A blend of styles:
Combines traditional Thai massage's focus on energy lines (meridians) with the soothing effects of oil.
• Uses essential oils:
Warm, therapeutic oils (like lavender, eucalyptus) are applied to nourish skin and enhance relaxation.
• Techniques:
Features long, gliding strokes, kneading, gentle stretching, and pressure on acupressure points.
What to expect
• Softer pressure:
Generally offers a softer, more flowing, and deeply relaxing experience compared to traditional Thai massage, though firmer pressure can be requested.
• Deep relaxation:
Promotes calmness and can help you fall asleep during the session due to its soothing nature.
• Physical benefits:
Eases muscle tension, improves flexibility, boosts circulation, and can help with inflammation.
Key differences from traditional Thai massage
• Traditional Thai:
Often done on a floor mat, with less oil (or none), focusing on dynamic stretching and energy flow for flexibility.
• Thai Oil:
Can be on a table or mat, uses ample warm oils for fluid strokes, and emphasizes deep relaxation and skin nourishment.
