Thai Massage

What?

Thai Massage is ancient bodywork from Thailand that is an interactive and unique massage modality developed over many centuries in Thai medical hospitals and temples by leading healing professionals. With extensive roots in Indian healing arts (Ayurveda and Yoga), Thai Massage uniquely combines the best in Asian techniques and offers a preventative approach to health.

Thai Massage (also called, 'Thai Yoga Massage' and 'Nuad Phaen Boran') is a compassionate healing approach to wellness that amazingly fuses different techniques and modalities into its own interactive and highly unique style. Such techniques include: reflexology, acupressure, passive stretching, energy work, meditation, and aromatherapy. It also focuses more on the spaces between the muscles'the fascial layers, connective tissues. This 'Lazy Man's Yoga' is very therapeutic for opening and transforming the body, mind, and spirit into a place of relaxation and peace.

How?

Thai Massage is delivered on a futon-like mat on the floor, and the receiver is fully clothed during the whole massage. We provide Thai clothing'Thai Fisherman Pants and tops'for the receiver to wear during the session. All of our sessions include the use of 'Luk Pra Kob', Thai herbal compress treatments.

These medicinal herbal packs include many different herbs and flowers, which are grown and dried in Thailand. They are wrapped in fabric, steamed, and then pressed along the receiver's body throughout the massage. The herbal compresses we use at Textured Motion are very special and have been hand-made by an herbalist at the Warorot Market in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The receiver leaves feeling refreshed and rejuvenated from the warmed, herbal remedies.
