Thai Massage Thai Massage (AKA Thai Yoga Bodywork) is a type of full-body massage that originated in Thailand. Rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, it can be described as a cross between yoga, energy healing and bodywork. While you relax on a soft floor mat, the practitioner will use her hands, feet, elbows, arms and legs, to guide you through a series of assisted yoga postures and gentle stretching. Acupressure is also applied along energy lines to encourage the flow of healing energies. Thai Massage has also been described as “the lazy person’s yoga” because it is a passive practice in which the practitioner “does yoga to you”. It combines stretching and body movements to loosen muscles, release tension and eliminate disease. Non-restrictive, comfortable clothing and bare feet are recommended, similar to what you would wear for a yoga class.
