THAI OIL MASSAGE
What is Thai Oil Massage
Thai Oil Massage, as the name suggests, involves the use of oil. It is useful in cases of stress and insomnia because it is a deep yet relaxing treatment. This treatment also includes some passive stretching movements to increase muscle elasticity and joint flexibility, thus improving movement. Contrary to what one might think, it does NOT cause pain in any way.
Performed on a professional massage table, the operator works along the Sen energy meridians using harmonious sliding movements, calibrated palm-finger pressure, delicate manipulations and light passive stretching techniques. Friction is applied with the thumb pad, followed by broader strokes with the palms, alternating depth and gentleness.
Thai Oil Massage is a complete sensory experience that envelops the body, mind and spirit in a journey of deep wellbeing, ideal for those who wish to rediscover inner harmony and balance.
Benefits of Thai Oil Massage
Stress Reduction
The slow, enveloping rhythm of the massage, combined with the aromas of essential oils, promotes deep mental relaxation and lowers stress levels.
Improvement of circulation
Sliding and pressure manoeuvres stimulate blood circulation and reactivate the lymphatic system, promoting tissue oxygenation.
Fluid Drainage
The draining action of the treatment helps eliminate toxins and excess fluids, reducing swelling and water retention.
Improving Sleep Quality
The deep relaxation induced by the treatment promotes deeper, more restorative sleep, combating insomnia.
How a Session Takes Place
The client lies down on the massage table and the therapist begins the massage with long, enveloping movements that distribute the oil over the entire body. The movements follow the Sen energy lines typical of Thai tradition, alternating deep pressure with the thumbs and palms with broader, more fluid movements with the forearms. The sequence covers the entire body: legs, back, arms, abdomen, shoulders and neck.
The pace is slow and meditative, creating a deeply relaxing experience. Unlike traditional Thai massage, the stretches are gentler and less intense. A full body treatment typically lasts 90 minutes. Afterwards, your skin will feel nourished and your body completely relaxed.
