FAQ about Thai Bodywork

What is Thai Bodywork?
Thai Bodywork, sometimes called Thai Yoga Massage, is an ancient healing art rooted in Ayurvedic medicine and yoga. Unlike traditional massage, it is practiced fully clothed on a supportive mat on the floor. The practitioner gently guides you through stretches, acupressure, and rhythmic compression to create a deep sense of relaxation and release.
Think of it as assisted yoga meets massage therapy.
