In Tradition Thai massage, a practitioner uses stretching, pulling, and rocking techniques to attempt to relieve tension, promote relaxation, improve flexibility and circulation. A therapist uses hands, thumbs, elbows, forearms, and sometimes even feet to reduce tension in your muscles. The combination of stretching, movement, and pressure is what distinguishes Tradition Thai massage from other types of massage. This treatment uses no oil or lotion. The recipient remains clothed during treatment.
