FEATURES OF THAI SPORTS MASSAGE
Thai sports massage differs from classic relaxation massage in the depth of its treatment. It works not only on the superficial muscles but also on the deep layers, fascia, and areas of tension.
The treatment uses several techniques: Oil makes the treatment smoother, nourishes the skin, and enhances the restorative effect. The therapist adjusts the intensity on an individual basis—the treatment should not cause pain, but it should still be felt deeply and effectively.
- deep muscle kneading to relieve fatigue and tension;
- pressure applied to specific trigger points;
- gentle stretching to improve flexibility and mobility;
- work along the Sen energy lines;
- oil techniques using natural oils.

- Warm-up. Gentle rubbing and kneading prepare the muscles for deep work.
- Main treatment. Deep pressure, sports-style kneading, stretching, and work on trigger points. Special attention is given to the back, neck, shoulders, legs, and lower back.
