The question of how Thai massage differs from classical massage is relevant for those who are now faced with the choice of a trial session or course.
Let’s start with the fact that oriental techniques involve the impact on biologically active points and energy channels, on which the overall tone of the body, well-being, and health in general depend. Thai massage restores the elasticity of joints and eliminates muscle clamps and tension, stress, and fatigue. During a classical massage, the muscles of the body are actively worked out. And that’s all! That is why the effects and sensations from these procedures are different.
Do you want to restore your body and activate its hidden powers? Sign up for a session of authentic Thai massage at the Armonia spa! And you yourself will understand the huge difference between classical muscle work and oriental techniques, used since ancient times to restore health and rejuvenate.
Preparation
You should prepare for the session. Our manager will tell you about this in detail; however, we will give brief recommendations:
- For the duration of the course, you should completely give up alcoholic beverages, which are necessary for cleansing the body;
- You should go to the session in a state of slight hunger, that is, the last meal and even water should be no later than 2-3 hours before;
- On the day of the visit, you should not do additional physical activity—go to a fitness club, play sports, swim;
- After the program, you will be treated to fresh, hot tea.
Immediately after the session, you will feel slight drowsiness and relaxation, but after resting, you will be surprised by the fresh influx of strength and positive energy. This is an amazing feeling that a classic massage will never give!
Features
Eastern techniques differ significantly from classical ones. Therefore, when signing up for a session, keep in mind that it is carried out in light, non-restrictive clothing. You will be given such a uniform in the salon. During the procedure, you will lie on the floor on a special mat.
Massage technique involves stretching, bending of limbs, and impact on biologically active points of the body. As a rule, it is completely painless. However, if some area of ​​the body is neglected and susceptible to disease, then slight discomfort may occur. After the massage, the vulnerable area of ​​the body will relax and the pain will go away.
Thai massage—the difference from the usual here is due to the fact that it is performed in clothes—light and loose. After all, the technique appeared in the times of ancient emperors, who were forbidden to undress even in front of masseurs. It is clothing that allows you to maintain a certain isolation, cultural component, and moral principles of that time.
Contraindications
Despite the safety for health, there are a number of contraindications:
- injuries, fractures;
- thrombophlebitis;
- hemophilia;
- osteoporosis;
- intervertebral hernias;
- dermatological diseases;
- open wounds—cuts, burns;
- oncology;
- arthritis;
- pregnancy and lactation;

However, the above list of contraindications is not so categorical. Just when consulting with a specialist, you need to warn about the problem. In most cases, the master will find an alternative method of influence, taking into account the individual characteristics of the client. For example, if it is impossible to influence the legs, the massage can be performed on the back. In the case of oncology, you should consult with your doctor in advance; it is quite possible that in your case there are no prohibitions for oriental massage.
To achieve the best effect, we recommend signing up for a course of at least 3 sessions. It is worth doing them every 2 days and then doing a massage once a week, which will allow you to maintain the result and enjoy the wonderful feeling of excellent well-being and fullness of energy!
