Thai Massage

Thai Massage is an ancient practice based on Ayurvedic medicine and yoga, and was developed in India 2,500 years ago and preserved in the Buddhist temples of Thailand. A combination of acupressure, energy meridian work, and yoga-like stretching, it works to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and balance the body energetically.

Thai Massage is done on a mattress on the floor. No oil is used and the client wears loose, comfortable clothing throughout the session. The therapist uses her hands, feet, arms, and legs to gently move the recipient into yoga postures, while palming and thumbing along the body's energy lines and pressure points. It is relaxing, restorative bodywork that affects the body from head to toe. Annalisa Derryberry is certified in Thai Massage.
