Traditional Thai Massage

 

The customer changes into comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and lies down onto a mattress on a platform (at almost floor height) specifically made for the purpose. We do not use oil in traditional Thai massage. Thai massage fundamentally follows the Sen- (energy) lines of the body and uses rhythmic massage, acupressure, gentle twists and stretches. It relaxes and relieves the joints, while it stretches the muscles. Thai massage is the art of stretching, pressure and relaxation. The masseur applies each movement for the purpose of sufficiently relaxing the muscles. In performing Thai massage, the masseur stimulates the internal organs, enhances vitality and thereby helps to achieve a state of deep relaxation. By stimulating the lymphatic functions, traditional Thai massage contributes to the detoxification of the body, boosts the immune system and, by improving flexibility, helps to prevent illnesses and/or injuries. A further beneficial effect of Thai massage is the creation of a harmonious balance between body and soul.

 

Aroma-therapeutic Oil Massage

 

Aroma-therapeutic oil massage means a full-body massage on a massage bed specifically designed for the purpose. The essential oils used yield their beneficial effect directly through the skin by stimulating the sense organs of touch and smell. Massage performed with oil stimulates the blood circulation, while the essential oils become absorbed through the skin and are inhaled via the nose. The masseur uses an aroma-therapeutic oil on the body which calms the nerves, detoxifies the body and rejuvenates the soul. Aroma-therapeutic oil massage also relaxes tense muscles, improves circulation and calms the body. We only use natural oils with high biological values for the purposes of massage which the guest himself/herself may select. Naturally, we are happy to give advice as to which oil would be best (e.g. honey, aloe vera, lemon balm-calendula, peppermint-rosemary, mango-peach, orange-cinnamon, yogi, paprika, etc.).

 

Thai Foot Massage (Reflexology)

 

Thai Foot Massage means the massage of the feet and lower legs which includes manual stretches and the „opening" of the Sen (energy) lines by virtue of massaging. Foot massage is performed in a comfortable massage chair that may be tilted back. We use a special stick specifically designed for the purpose in order to effectively stimulate the reflex points on the soles of the feet which are connected to various internal organs. By pressing acupressure points, masseurs proceed from the sole of the foot upwards, via the calf, to the knee, and finally, they also massage the upper body and the head. Thai foot massage has a natural, beneficial effect on the internal organs, blood circulation and limbs. A calming and body energising effect is attributed to this type of massage throughout Asia. Thai foot massage improves circulation in the feet and hands, contributes to detoxification, boosts the immune system and alleviates aches and pains in the lower leg and the sole of the foot. After a foot massage session, you will feel like you have been reborn, almost as if you were „levitating", rather than walking.


Herbal Steam Thai Massage (Herbal Massage)

 

Herbal steam (vapour) massage is performed with a wet-pack ball placed onto the body and consists of a coordinated series of Thai yoga stretches, in the course of which the masseur presses traditionally steamed hot and cold herbal fabric patch balls onto the body. By massaging the tired areas with a ball containing 14 different herbs, wrapped into a special fabric package and steamed with an aroma heater, we may achieve a pain relieving and muscle relaxing effect, and as the heat penetrates deep into the body, it relieves any blockages, tension or stiffness in the most direct possible way. The wet-pack balls may be used directly on the painful parts of the body or on the entire body surface for the purpose of boosting and supporting the flow of energy in the body in the correct direction. The wet-pack balls containing herbs are imported directly from Thailand in order to adhere to the ancient, well-established methods and teachings.
