Thai massage: a short, practical guide

Thai massage is quite different from a standard oil massage. You stay in comfortable clothing, lie on a mat, and the therapist guides your body through gentle stretches alongside acupressure. The result is a feeling of openness through the hips, back and shoulders — and a surprisingly calm mind.

What happens during the session

You wear or arrive in loose clothing you can stretch in.

The therapist uses palms, thumbs, forearms and body weight to apply pressure.

A sequence of gentle stretches works through hips, shoulders, legs and back.

No oil is used — the whole session is dry.

Who it tends to suit

People who sit a lot and want to feel mobile again.

Guests who prefer no oil.

Anyone curious about traditional bodywork styles.

How to prepare

Avoid heavy meals in the hour before the session.

Share any knee, hip or shoulder issues ahead of time.

Hydrate well through the day.
