Before the Massage

Traditional Thai Massage is performed fully clothed, without any oils or creams. Please wear clothes that allow freedom of movement, such as yoga or exercise clothing. Long pants are preferred; shorts and shirts with hoods are not recommended. If it is your first time at the clinic please arrive 5-10 min. early to fill out a health questionnaire. Please let the therapist know if you have any health issues, current or past injuries, or movement restrictions to be respected. We do not perform Thai Massage on women who are pregnant.

During the Massage

Relax, focus on your breath and allow any stress to dissolve. Let the therapist know if you experience any discomfort during the massage.

After the Massage

A great way to prolong your relaxation is to have a warm epsom salts bath and enjoy some calming quiet time. Try to also drink plenty of water to hydrate and flush toxins.

The Thai people have always considered therapeutic massage as a vital and integral part of their health maintenance practices. Now, you too can make Thai Massage an integral part of your health and wellness lifestyle.
