Treat Yourself to a Bangkok Spa Massage
For first-time visitors to Bangkok, one of your items tick off your bucket list should be the experience of a having a professional Bangkok spa massage.
Traditional Thai massage is practised in one form or another all over the world. But they may pale in comparison to Bangkok spa massage given by Thai massage specialists.
These specialists have probably been trained at one of the many schools accredited to teach traditional Thai massage in Bangkok or other areas in Thailand. If the spa advertises the massage as being the “Thai traditional massage”, you can count on being treated by a professional expert.
Other spas around the world take the most pleasurable aspects of the Thai massage and offer them as being authentic treatments. They generally consist of kneading the muscles until you’re relaxed, combining the kneading with hand a hand and foot massage, and finishing off the treatment session with a facial or body scrub.
All these treatments are available in Bangkok massage spa as well, but they don’t qualify as a truly traditional Thai massage. This is because these massages are more treatments than they are massages.
Traditional Thai Massage
The traditional Thai massage can be anything but relaxing when you’re in the middle of it. The relaxing and rejuvenating effects of the massage come after the massage is concluded.
But as you become more accustomed to the Thai massage over time, your body will become more supple, and you’ll start to enjoy the physical aspects of the massage when it’s being performed a lot more.
At many Bangkok massage spas, the spas will provide loose clothing that you’ll be asked to wear. The practice of Thai massage involves the stretching of muscles, tendons and ligaments. Wearing restrictive street clothing inhibits the stretching techniques that the massage specialist uses.
During the massage, your muscles, tendons and ligaments will be slowly stretched, sometimes to their limits by the massage specialist. They may use a rocking motion to coax the muscles to their limits slowly.
The traditional Thai massage is very physical. Your massage specialist may use their knees and feet to help them stretch you into a position, or their thumbs and elbows to ease knots in your muscles. If you’re feeling pain, simply say the word ‘jep’ (which means hurt in Thai) to them, and they will immediately ease off.
But if you’re willing to undergo the stretching and straining, the results you feel the next day can be extraordinary. You’ll often experience less stiffness and have a greater range of motion than you’ve experienced in years.
You’ll also have more energy, which will help when you’re out touring the endless attractions of Bangkok. You may also feel so good that having a traditional Thai massage will become a regular part of your daily routine while you’re in the city.
A visit to Bangkok massage spa is a worthwhile pursuit for young and old. The professional massage specialist will adjust her techniques to work on children or the elderly. Treat yourself to a professional Thai massage on your upcoming trip to the capital city of Thailand.
