Are you a fan of yoga or pilates? Need to work out some kinks and tension? You could be a good candidate for Thai massage, a form of bodywork that is now available at several great day spas around Orlando.

Unlike regular massages performed on a massage table, the Thai massage involves deep stretching and posing on the floor and is a type of “guided” massage.

What is Thai Massage?

Thai Massage is believed to have been developed more than 2,500 years ago in India and was – and is – performed as part of Thai medicine. The primary goal of Thai massage is to stretch the legs, arms, back, shoulders, neck and core muscles to release tension and reduce stress. Thai massage is meant to be both a relaxing and energizing treatment, because the therapist releases tension that’s built up in your joints and muscles and increases your natural energy flow.

Benefits of a Thai Massage

Some of the top benefits of Thai massage include:

  • Improves flexibility
  • Regulates energy levels
  • Promotes restful sleep
  • Increases flexibility
  • Improves circulation in the joints and muscles
  • Encourages deep relaxation
  • Reduces stress

Orlando Day Spas Offering Thai Massage

Ready to enjoy the Thai massage experience? Many Orlando day spas and health centers offer Thai massage services priced between $140 to $200 or more for a 90 minute session.

Set your sights on some of these Orlando day spas for your next appointment:

Since the treatment is performed fully clothed, you can return to regular activities shortly after your session.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to drink lots of water to help your muscles heal and restore themselves after the treatment, and you may need to avoid eating a heavy meal for several hours after treatment to avoid discomfort.
