What do you wear for a Thai massage?
Traditionally Thai massages are fully clothed, however if you’re getting a massage with oil, your Thai massage therapist will give you a moment of privacy before the treatment starts to get dressed down to your underwear and hop onto the massage table underneath the towels. If you’d prefer to keep loose clothing on just let your massage therapist know and they will be able to accommodate you.
Does Thai massage include head?
Yes, your head, back, gluteal muscles, legs, arms and shoulders are treated during a Thai massage.
Is Thai massage better than deep tissue?
This depends on your preference and what you’re wanting to get out of your treatment. A deep tissue massage is often requested if you’re looking to reduce pain, using firm pressure to target areas of concern and release toxins in the body to promote muscle recovery. A Thai massage, while similar to a deep tissue because of its firm pressure requires more active participation and draws on ancient healing practices to stretch and relieve the muscles.
Should you eat before Thai massage?
Because your body will be moved and stretched it’s best not to have a full meal right before your Thai massage. Eat a couple of hours before the treatment to allow your body to digest the food properly and if you do need to eat beforehand it’s best to have a light snack that will be digested easily.
