How is Thai Massage Performed?

Thai massage is performed on a padded mat on the floor. You are fully dressed, as it doesn’t require application of oils unlike other massage techniques. You may be asked to wear loose and comfortable clothing.

You are asked to lie down on your back on the padded mat. A massage therapist will apply gentle strokes using his hands, knees, legs, and feet along the energy lines to open up your body. He usually starts off at legs and then moves on to other body parts.
