It depends on your body’s level of tension. Muscle tension can restrict your blood’s circulation, so the more contracted your muscles, the more discomfort you could feel. Therapists must apply pressure to muscles to trigger them to soften and relax.

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.

Some practitioners offer Thai oil massage: a fusion of traditional Thai techniques with oil-based gliding strokes performed on a massage table. It combines the stretching benefits of Thai massage with the relaxing qualities of a Swedish-style treatment. Browse and book Thai oil massage specialists near you.

Thai massage is an ancient healing system combining assisted yoga-like stretching, rhythmic acupressure along energy pathways (called 'sen lines') and passive joint mobilisation. Unlike most Western massage styles, traditional Thai massage is performed on a mat on the floor with the client fully clothed. Sessions are active and energising rather than purely relaxing: often described as 'yoga done to you'.

A Thai massage typically costs between €60 and €140 for a 60-minute session, depending on the therapist and clinic. Traditional Thai massage is often more affordable than oil-based or spa-style treatments. Fresha shows upfront pricing for every service before you book.
