Thai Massages are often referred to as "lazy man's yoga". In Thailand, this was considered an important form of medical healing for many years. It involves more than lying on the table. The largest difference between Thai massage and traditional massage is the equipment. Such as the apparatus to support the therapist while walking on the person's back. It usually takes place on the floor, or with a futon lying on the floor. Thai massage requires movement with the therapist. For example, stretching the person through kneeling on their back. Or using the elbows to dig deep into the body. This can relieve hidden pressure points and areas of soreness. Twisting pulling and pushing are all parts of the Thai massage technique. Walking on the back is sometimes also included when needed. A Thai massage can use acupressure and compression therapeutic methods. These techniques release, restore, and activate your energy systems. Elite Therapeutic Massage can customize the massage to your pain or problem areas.  The therapist will ask ahead of time and from time to time what specific areas they should focus on. Let them know which areas to avoid during the massage. This puts you in control of what the masseuse stretches and twists on. Elite Therapeutic Massage's staff are trained to do this safely.
