WHAT IS TRADITIONAL THAI MASSAGE COURSE?

Traditional Thai Massage, also known as Passive Yoga, is an ancient therapy from Thailand, a dry massage with comprehensive techniques to strengthen overall well-being. This massage is delivered by using palms, knees, elbows, and feet during therapeutic treatment. Through the use of passive stretching, acupressure, and energy line to work on different body positions, this traditional massage type effectively focuses on reducing tension, balancing the energy system in the human body and enhancing the flexibility of joints and musculoskeletal systems.
