What to expect from a Thai Massage?
which correctly translates only as ancient massage or traditional massage, this form of massage is also known as Thai ancient massage,
traditional Thai massage, Thai yoga massage, yoga massage, Thai classical massage, Thai bodywork, passive yoga or assisted yoga.
It is usually soothing because of its emphasis on stretching and loosening the body.
The massage recipient changes into loose, comfortable clothes and lies on a mat or firm mattress on the floor.
The massage practitioner leans on the recipient's body using hands and forearms to apply firm rhythmic pressure to almost every part of
the recipient's body.(source: en.wikipedia.org)
Be aware: the procedure!!!
A full Thai massage session typically lasts two hours or more, and includes rhythmic pressing and stretching of the entire body;
this may include pulling fingers, toes, ears etc., cracking the knuckles, walking on the recipient's back,
arching the recipient's back in a rolling action etc. There is a standard procedure and rhythm to the massage.
The traditional therapeutic practice of Thai massage should not be confused with the service of the same name that is available
in some hotels and brothels.
Sometimes the traditional therapeutic Thai Massage, or ancient massage, is referred to as "old lady massage," while the erotic practice,
which has nothing to do with therapeutic traditional massage is called "young lady massage."
