Traditional Thai massage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Also known as Nuad Bo\u2019Rarn, this massage has been practiced in Thailand for over 2,500 years.

Thai oil massage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Using aromatic oils directly on the skin promotes real physical recovery and offers a sensation of deep relaxation<\/strong>. This type of massage uses fluid movements to massage the body from head to toe, stimulating energy lines and revitalizing the entire organism. What\u2019s more, the use of different oil fragrances promises even more of a change of scenery.<\/p>\n

Thai herbal massage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thai herbal massage begins with a traditional Thai massage. During this, cotton bundles of herbs are steamed. The practitioner then applies them directly to the skin at specific points, when they are sufficiently hot. The warm herbs increase energy points and help to<\/strong> provide lasting relief<\/strong> from body tension.<\/p>\n

Thai foot massage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Foot reflexology is as much a science as an art, providing effective relief for many ailments. In Thai foot massage<\/strong>, a wooden stick with a rounded tip is used to stimulate so-called reflex zones linked to the body\u2019s organs. To relieve stress and restore harmony, feet, calves and legs are treated in this way.<\/p>\n
