Components of Thai Massage: (1) Ancient Thai Massage is typically two hours; the client is fully clothed in shirt and pants; no oil or lotion is applied; the session involves a great variety of stretching positions and is a very active process for both client and therapist with a rhythmic, almost constant sense of motion; this is an excellent modality for weekend warriors getting ready for rigorous activity or for building up the limber strength required in most sporting activities; (2) Traditional Thai Massage might involve the lifting of the shirt for the application of lotion (or oil) to facilitate the kneading of sore muscles as well as many of the stretching positions; this would possibly be the right approach for those who have completed athletic activity in order to revive aching muscles, reduce the build-up of lactic acid in the muscles, and prepare the body to return to athletic activity; this form of Thai Massage is also excellent for the stressed and those suffering from work-related, repetitive action pain; (3) Therapeutic Thai Massage requires considerable experience on the part of the therapist. The relationship between client and therapist must be one of trust. Here, the therapist is given the freedom to sort out issues. While certainly not claiming medical skill, a talented therapist can work towards solutions to problems not apparent to the client. For example, stretching the mid back can sometimes result in relief to the hips or shoulders. Working together, the therapist can help manage and prevent injuries to which the client may be susceptible. Often the therapist will combine all three Thai massage techniques, and it can be said that the completeness of Thai massage incorporates many of the Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques.
