Answer:
The foundational theory of Thai Massage is about the movement of energy. Thai massage is more rigorous and ENERGIZING than almost all of the more typical forms of massage. Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage, because your therapist moves you through a series of yoga-like stretches using his hands, knees, legs, and feet. Many people say Thai massage is like doing yoga without having to do any work. A combination of muscle compressions, joint mobilization techniques, and acupressure is also used during treatment.

Answer:
You will have a better result if you arrive a few minutes early. There is a mandatory Health History Questionnaire to fill out. Traditional Thai massage is performed on a padded mat which is either placed directly on the floor over a full-sized mat. You are asked to bring loose-fitting or flexible clothing to the massage. You will be fully dressed during your entire treatment. The best type of clothing is whatever you wear during Yoga or any active workout routine, as long as it does not have any zippers or other hardware. Natural fibers are preferred over fabric that is slippery or too thin. If you do not have suitable clothing, I can provide this for you. Expect to be moved around a lot. Twisted, rocked, and stretched out. A typical Thai massage is 90 minutes to three hours long. It is not uncommon to get a three-hour session in Thailand. The longest session I have ever rendered was 4 hrs. 45 minutes. Although I do offer 60 and 75-minute sessions, I recommend 90 minutes and up, in order to have the time to give a thorough treatment.

- Infectious skin disease, rash, or open wounds.
- Immediately after surgery.
- Immediately after chemotherapy or radiation, unless recommended by your doctor.
- Predisposition to blood clots. There is a risk of blood clots being dislodged.
- If you have heart disease, please check with your doctor before having any massage.
- Pregnant women should consult their doctor first before considering a massage. Massage for pregnant women should be performed by experienced massage therapists who specialize in pregnancy massage.
- Massage should not be done directly over bruises, inflamed skin, unhealed wounds, tumors, abdominal hernia, or areas of recent fractures.
- Sessions of 90 Minutes or more are recommended to allow sufficient time for a thorough treatment and avoid rushing.
- If you have specific areas in the body that you want to address during the session, 60 minutes may not be adequate unless you are small or in excellent physical condition. When we say, “in great shape,” we are not necessarily referring to body fat %.
- If you are a large person, it will take longer to complete a thorough treatment.
- If you intend to satisfy your curiosity, book 60 minutes and “try it out.” However, be advised that the first session is likely to reveal cranky regions that you may not have been aware of.
- Book 2 or 3 hours if you would like to ensure a thorough treatment.
- If you are elderly, we may have to proceed more slowly through the process.
- Consider dedicating a day to your health. The most extended session I have ever conducted was over 5 hours.
There is no risk in receiving a Thai massage as often as you wish. For clients new to Thai massage, I recommend scheduling your first massage and then deciding on the interval after determining how well the effect lasts. The benefits of Thai Massage may last longer than those of a typical massage, but the duration requirements and frequency vary for each individual. Many of my customers schedule their massages every week. However, we do have customers who come in every other week or make monthly appointments. If you have specific health goals, consider a series of targeted treatments. Health professionals agree that committing to a series of treatments produces a more profound effect compared to an unorganized approach. Discounts are available for multi-session purchases.
This therapy combines pressure point work with stretches, allowing for a level of intensity that can be adjusted from deep to light. Typically, there is no residual muscle pain afterward, just a feeling similar to that of flushing out the by-products from muscle contraction and increased circulation. If your objective is to achieve marked tissue change, there may be a need for increased intensity. Although it is rare, some clients experience a bit of stiffness first thing in the morning, which clears up as soon as they get moving. This is usually followed by greater ease in movement, increased range, and greater strength, which evolves over the following days.
Yes, we offer couples’ massages; however, due to increased staff requirements, we can only provide this service with a booking. Same-day booking for couples’ massages may not always be available, so please call us to check. For house calls and Thai Massage in your hotel, you may prefer to have your sessions back-to-back, since we may even waive the extra travel fee depending on the session length you choose. Otherwise, the travel fee is doubled.
No. Currently, I am not set up to accept medical insurance, but it is definitely on my list of features that I plan to add to my practice. Please send a message expressing your interest, and I will notify you when this component becomes available. We do take FSA card payments.
Yes, we do offer gift certificates.
The eGift card I set up through Square was unreliable and resulted in non-payment due to scams. So, these days I will make them myself, and you can make payments through Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, or a Credit Card (with a transaction fee)
If you prefer a paper gift certificate, please reach out by phone or using the contact form, and we will arrange something for you.
Yes. We will usually need a third person to be present to serve as a body, as this is the most productive way for me to assist you with your form and rhythm. You can bring a friend, or I can try to find someone for you if you don’t have one. It works best if you have a practice partner to review the material between lessons. This has been an enriching experience for couples.
