In order to achieve muscle compression and joint mobilization, practitioners incorporate their palms, thumbs, forearms, knees, and feet. Thai yoga massage can be both relaxing and energizing. Massages typically begin with the feet and work towards the head in order to help circulate energy through the sen lines. Thai massage can reduce stress, decrease pain, boost immunity and make you happier. These are some of the many benefits experienced from a Thai massage. These sessions are clothed (yoga-appropriate clothing) and modified for the table.
