The foundation of Thai Massage is based on the concept that a life force (also known as Prana, Chi or energy flow- 'Malay angin' ) circulates throughout the body, maintaining health and vitality. When this energy flow is blocked or restricted, sickness or disease may develop. Thai massage is non oil technique that focuses on using pressure point massage.
Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation and is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while at the same time easing the tension. Swedish massage is using oil massage to improve blood circulation.
Swedish Thai massage is the ideal course for student to start with as it incorporates both non oil technique and oil technique. Swedish Thai massage allows flexibility of giver to give both combined oil and non oil technique or focuses on pure oil or non oil technique depending on the receivers’ request or preference.
