The massage therapists manipulate the major pathways by pressing specific points along it. The pathway starts at the navel and spreads all throughout the body. Thai massage use stretches and breathing practices like in yoga to stimulate the flow of air.

Thai Massage therapy is quite unique compared to other types of massages. Patients can also choose to wear comfortable and loose pants rather than getting totally naked. It does not use massage oils. It uses different yoga stretches and postures along with thumbing and palming of specific points along the energy lines of the body. It also uses the practitioner’s legs to help counterbalance and position the patient’s body in various stretches. The patient will effortlessly resemble different yoga postures thru a set of choreographic movements with the help of the massage practitioner. This is the reason why others also call it the “lazy man’s yoga”.
