CARLINGTON MOVEMENT AND MASSAGE COLLECTIVE
THAI MASSAGE
What is Thai Massage?
Thai massage is a full-body, clothed massage that includes the use of a variety of stretching, trigger-point, and movement techniques. Thai massage is performed on a large, padded floor mat, and techniques are adjusted to the client’s comfort level and movement capacity.
Thai massage therapy helps patients relax, alleviate pain, and improve mobility. Overall, it can be part of personal self-care to manage stress, fatigue, anxiety and depression. Regular massage promotes overall health and wellness.
FAQS
HOW IS THAI MASSAGE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TYPES?
No oil is required in a Thai massage, so you may remain fully clothed. Rather than just using hands, fists, forearms and elbows, a Thai massage therapist may use legs and feet during the massage, so the floor mat allows for this flexibility.
IS THAI MASSAGE COVERED UNDER MOST HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES?
Some insurance companies with flexible health care plans may cover Thai Massage. At the Carlington Movement and Massage Collective, you have the option to book with either a registered or non-registered therapist, depending on your needs and insurance requirements.
