Massage traditions of two worlds come together to relax the body, increase flexibility and promote blood circulation.
From Thailand comes passive yoga-style stretching, wherein the therapist does the work and the client reaps the benefits, in combination with pressure that is applied to energy lines and acupressure points along the lines.
From Sweden comes the use of soothing, aromatic ointments and the comfort of lying on a massage table rather than on a floor mat, as in traditional Thai massage. Spa aficionados will be familiar with Swedish massage techniques that apply pressure on outer muscles against deeper muscles and bones to increase oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins.
For the ultimate Swe-Thai massage experience, ask the therapist to employ a warm compress using healing Thai herbs. (Arrange for this extra when booking appointment.) |
