Chinese and Thai massages are similar in that they aim to rebalance your body’s energy. Both are carried out with you clothed, however a Thai massage is conducted with you lying or sitting on the floor, and a Chinese massage is carried out with you lying or sitting on a couch or chair. Thai massage therapists use their hands, fingers, elbows, knees and feet to manipulate your body’s joints in a way that will stretch and destress your muscles; Chinese massage therapists use their hands, fingers and elbows to stimulate acupressure points and meridians in your soft tissues.

A Chinese massage focuses on holistic health, directing massage to very specific acupressure points on your body to target specific problems and boost your wellbeing. A regular massage, on the other hand, is centred on relaxation and stress relief.
