Traditional Thai Massage has its roots in Ayurveda and Chinese massage. It combines stretching and acupressure massage to balance and harmonize the body. It is often referred to as "Lazy Yoga" because of the increased flexibility gained by receiving this treatment. 

It can also help to improve and maintain flexibility and restore balance within and between functional groups of muscles to ease pain and improve posture. Relaxation is attained by applying rhythmic motion along energy lines and pressure points with the palms and thumbs. 

Thai massage is performed on a mat, with the client dressed in loose, comfortable clothing.
