Thai massage, also known as Thai yoga massage, is a traditional therapy that combines acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted yoga postures.

Thai massage is a form of therapeutic touch that differs in many ways from traditional massage. Instead of a massage table, you lie on a mat on the floor while the provider manipulates your body in certain ways to stimulate organs and improve flexibility.

1. Increased range of motion
Thai massage combines compression, acupressure, and passive stretching. These increase the range of motion in your joints and muscles. This can also improve your posture.

2. Helps with back pain Thai massage tends to focus on areas that can contribute to back pain, like the inner thigh and abdomen. However, if you have constant back pain, it’s best to visit a doctor before getting any type of massage.

3. Reduced stress
Thai massage can help reduce stress, especially when combined with rest.
