Thai Foot Reflexology Massage Therapy
Our traditional Thai Foot Reflexology massage includes massage of the feet and lower legs along with stimulation of reflexology pressure points on the soles of the feet using a thai massage stick. Herbal oils and lotion and towel wraps are also used during the full treatment. After this treatment, your feet will feel great and your entire body will be relaxed.
Traditional Thai Massage Therapy
During Traditional Thai Massage, the client lies on a mat on the floor fully clothed and is gently moved through a series of positions by the therapist. In some of these positions, the therapist stretches the client. At other times, the therapist applies acupressure and compressions using their hands, feet, forearms, knees, and elbows. In Traditional Thai massage, no lotion or oil is used. See Photos in Photo Gallery (click link to the left).
Thai massage dates back to between 800 AD and 1200 AD. The Thai people created this unique healing art form and were "influenced" by Theravada Buddhism, Ayurveda, Hatha Yoga, Chinese Meridians, and Indigenous Practices of the Tai people. The Thai people believe that this bodywork leads to health because of positive effects on the body and the mind. The Thai people also believe that Thai Massage leads to health by unblocking energy (or lom) that flows in pathways (or zen lines) throughout the body.
After a Thai massage, clients typically feel loose and relaxed. Thai massage can improve circulation, flexibility, and muscle tone. It can also reduce stress, relax sore or tense muscles, improve range of motion, and strengthen the immune system. Thai massage is the perfect compliment to any exercise routine.
Clients should bring loose fitting clothing suitable for exercise to their Traditional Thai Massage Treatment.

Enhance your Traditional Massage Treatment with the addition of hand-made Thai Herbal Compresses imported directly from Thailand. These compresses are steamed (0r cooled) and applied directly to the body during the massage treatment. The combination of the relaxing aroma, the healing properties of the herbal recipe, and the heat/cold therapy make this a truly unique massage treatment that will melt away your muscle soreness and pain and clear your sinuses.
