Inspired by the ancient rituals of Thailand, Thai Herbal Massage incorporates heated herbal compresses with traditional Thai massage performed on the table or Thai mat. The herbal ball (compress) is also an excellent tool to use in conjunction with other modalities.
The Thai herbs used are anti-inflammatory, local analgesics and muscle relaxants. Applied prior to a treatment, the hot herbal compresses improve range of motion and increase local circulation.
By warming the tissues first with medicinal herbs, we ease residual tension in the muscles and give a boost to the body’s energy level. The herbs induce deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Working pressure points we stimulate free the flow of energy and balance the mind and spirit. As a result, therapeutic stretching or other forms of massage can be administered with added grace and ease.
