Thai Massage is one of the world's great massage traditions and blends the technique of Chinese acupressure with the yoga traditions of India. This form of massage manipulates the energy, which travels throughout your body via the so-called meridians lines of Chinese medicine. Thai Massage is practiced in different forms reflecting different schools and traditions. In most forms the energy or meridians lines are pressed by the therapist's thumbs, and then the palms, in a gentle and complete pattern. After your body is loosened up, gentle stretches are done. Different body areas are massaged more than one time, so two hours is not excessively long for a complete treatment. It's good for tight muscles, low energy levels, and stress. But the stretching involved isn't good for people with certain back problems, such as herniated disks and fused spinal bones. Wonderful for the legs and overall balancing of energy, it's done with the person clothed, without the use of oil.
