Thai massage, which originated in India, has been around for over 2,500 years. Originally regarded as a healing art, traditional Thai massage includes influences from both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. Sometimes referred to as assisted yoga, Thai massage is focused on improving the flow of energy throughout your body.
A Thai massage lasts 60-90 minutes. The combination of stretching, movement, and pressure is what distinguishes Thai massage from other types of massage. Thai massage may be a good option for you if you want a more active type of massage, where you move and participate instead of lying down throughout your massage.
