Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Thai massage, oil massage and other types of massage?

Traditional Thai massage is an ancient practice that focuses on pressure, stretching and manipulation along the body's energy lines. It is practiced without oil, and the client remains dressed in comfortable clothes throughout the session.

This distinguishes it from oil massage, which uses essential oils and relies mainly on gentle, gliding movements to relax the muscles.

How often should one get a massage?

Generally, one to two sessions per week are recommended, depending on the physical condition and needs of each individual.

For people suffering from chronic pain, a higher frequency may be useful at first, then gradually reduced.

Does Thai massage hurt?

There may be a sensation of tension or slight pain in certain areas, particularly where muscles are tight. However, it should never be excessively painful.

If you feel any discomfort, do not hesitate to tell the practitioner so that they can adjust the pressure immediately.

Do I need to undress for a Thai massage?

No, it is not necessary. A set of loose and comfortable clothes will be provided before the session.

This allows you to move freely during the massage while remaining comfortable.

What should I do after this massage?

After the session, it is recommended to drink plenty of water to help the body eliminate toxins, avoid intense physical activities right after the massage and give yourself a good rest time.

Slight stiffness or aches in the following 1 to 2 days are normal: this is part of the natural muscle stimulation process.

Can I receive a Thai massage if I have a health problem?

It is important to inform the practitioner of any health problems before the session, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease or pregnancy.

This allows for adapting the techniques and pressure used, or avoiding certain areas if necessary, to ensure your safety and comfort.

Can this massage relieve office syndrome?

Yes, to some extent. Traditional Thai massage helps relax tense muscles in the neck, shoulders, back and upper body — areas often stressed in people who work for long periods in front of a computer or remain in the same position for long periods.

Can children or the elderly receive a Thai massage?

Yes, it is possible, provided gentle techniques are used and an experienced practitioner is consulted.

In the case of the elderly, especially those with fragile bones or health problems, it is recommended to report it in advance to adapt the session safely.
