Treatments and packages
Traditional Thai Massage
Thai massage is a type of massage in Thai style that involves stretching and deep massage. No oils are used in Thai massage. The massage recipient changes into loose, comfortable clothes and lies on a mat or firm mattress. The receiver is put into many yoga-like positions during the course of the massage. The massage practitioner leans on the recipient's body using hands and usually straight forearms locked at the elbow to apply firm rhythmic pressure. The massage generally follows the Sen lines on the body. A full Thai massage session typically lasts two hours or more, and includes rhythmic pressing and stretching of the entire body; this may include pulling fingers, toes, ears, cracking the knuckles, walking on the recipient's back, and arching the recipient's into bhujangasana or (cobra position).
Hot Stone Massage
A stone massage is a massage that uses smooth, flat, and heated rocks placed at key points on the body. Generally the rocks used in a stone massage are basalt, which has high heat retention qualities. Stones are placed in water and heated to approximately 125 °F (52 °C) before placement on the body. The stones are usually placed on specific points on the back, but can be placed other places such as between the toes, or in the palms of the hands. The heat of the rocks causes muscles to relax, thus allowing the therapist to apply deeper, more precise pressure if desired or necessary.
Herbal Compress Massage
The treatment combines eastern massage techniques with a light pressure patting, rolling, kneading and gentle but deeply effective massage. The heat from the compress carries the herbal essences and the essential oils deep into the skin, underlying tissues and organs. The treatment brings about a deep sensation of comfort and warmth, the compresses are soaked and then steamed to provide a deep penetrating warmth whilst stimulating the body to detoxify and heal itself. The warm herbal compresses are made up of a blend of up to 20 traditional Thai herbs (including turmeric, camphor, tamarind, lemongrass and kaffir lime) renowned for their invigorating, purifying, tension relieving and capacity to improve respiration and soothe general aches and pain.
Aromatic Oil Massage
Many blends of oils available to accomodate your mood and needs including massages aimed for sports and tense muscles, backaches etc., tranquil and romantic blends, invigorating and uplifting blends, blends specially for women in pregnancy etc etc. Note: It is advised you phone ahead and make a booking for your required massage as some oils may be out of stock or may need to be ordered.
