• Thai Combination massage     is a mixture of deep tissue massage, Thai yoga streching, Ashiatsu, Gua Sha for body, Cupping, an acupressure treatment that blends deep tissue massage, gentle stretches and acupressure points to create a perfect balance of refreshment and relaxation.  The massage will include oil, massage cream and balm with medium to firm pressure.                                                                                                           
• Thai Traditional massage (Cloth on)

  is best for people who want a more active form of massage and want to reduce and relieve pain and stress. It can also help improve:

  >flexibility
  >circulation
  >energy levels

  Thai Traditional massage works the entire body using a sequence of movements that are similar to yoga stretching. The therapist will use any parts of their body such as fingers, palms, forearms, elbows, knees or feet to apply firm pressure to your body. You’ll also be stretched and twisted into various positions.                
• Deep Tissue massage

  uses more pressure than a Swedish massage. It’s a good option if you have muscle problems, such as:

  -soreness
  -injury
  -imbalance
  -tightness
  -chronic muscle pain

  During a deep tissue massage, a massage therapist will use slow strokes and deep pressure to relieve tension from the deepest layers of your muscles and connective tissues.                                                                                  
• Acupressure massage / Trigger point massage

  is best suited for people who have injuries, chronic pain, or a specific issue or condition.

  Sometimes, areas of tightness in the muscle tissues, known as trigger points, can cause pain in other parts of the body. By focusing on relieving trigger points, this type of massage can reduce pain.

  Acupressure massage uses alternating levels of pressure in the area of the trigger point to alleviate tension.

  The massage will include work on your entire body, though your therapist will focus on specific areas that need to be released. 

• Thai Swedish massage

  is a gentle full-body massage that’s great for people who:

  >are new to massage
  >want to release tension
  >desire gentle touch
  It can help release muscle knots, and it’s also a good choice for when you want to fully relax during a massage.

  For this massage, you’ll remove your clothes but you need to keep your underwear on. You’ll be covered with a sheet while lying on the massage table. The massage therapist will move the sheet to uncover areas that they are actively working on.

  The massage therapist will use a combination of:

  kneading long, flowing strokes in the direction of the heart,  deep circular motions,  vibration and tapping
  passive joint movement techniques

• Reflexology

  uses gentle to firm pressure on different pressure points of the feet,  legs. It’s best for people who are looking to relax or restore their natural energy levels. It’s also a good option for those who aren’t comfortable being touched on the entire body.

  Reflexology may be especially beneficial for:

  >relaxation
  >reduced pain
  >reduced fatigue
  >improved sleep
  >reduced anxiety
  >improved mood

• Prenatal massage

  can be a safe way for women to get a massage during pregnancy. It can help reduce pregnancy body aches, reduce stress, and ease muscle tension.

  However, many facilities, especially in the United States, do not offer massages to women in their first trimester due to the risk of miscarriage during this time. If you’re pregnant, talk with your doctor before receiving massage.

  Prenatal massage uses mild pressure similar to Swedish massage. The therapist will focus on areas such as your lower back, hips, and legs. You can be fully or partially undressed, depending on your comfort level.

  During the massage, you’ll either lie on your side or on a specially designed table with a cutout for your belly. If you’ve had pain in your calves or other parts of your leg, see a doctor before you have a massage.

• Hot stone massage
  is best for people who have muscle pain and tension or who simply want to relax.

  This type of therapeutic massage is similar to a Swedish massage, only the massage therapist uses heated stones in lieu of or in addition to their hands.

  Hot stone massage may help:

>ease muscle tension
>improve blood flow
>alleviate pain
>promote relaxation
>relieve stress

During a hot stone massage, heated stones are placed on different areas of the whole body. Your therapist may hold a stone as they massage different parts of your body using Swedish massage techniques with gentle pressure. Sometimes, cold stones are also used.

• Cupping is a form of massage therapy which decompresses soft tissues using vacuum suction, unlike other forms of massage that compresses soft tissues. During cupping, the cup gently sucks to your skin and lifts underlying soft tissue into the cup. How does it feel?  Cupping is very relaxing and generally not painful.
