Thai massage is a combination of assisted yogic stretches and acupressure that stimulates the Sen (energy) lines to restore the body’s balance. More rigorous than a traditional massage, therapists will knead, press and stretch muscles with their hands and feet to release blocked energy channels, reduce tension, and improve overall health. Thai massages don’t tend to require clients to remove their clothes.

The key differences are technique, setting and purpose. Thai massage uses stretching, compression and acupressure with the client clothed on a mat: it's more active and energising. Swedish massage uses long gliding strokes and kneading with oil on a massage table: it's more passive and deeply relaxing. Thai massage also works with energy lines, while Swedish focuses primarily on muscle relaxation through the superficial tissue layers.

Rest and drink plenty of water. You should avoid having a hot shower, and expect to need the toilet more than usual as a result of your lymph circulation flushing out toxins.
