Traditional Thai Massage

Traditional Thai Massage is a mixture between Yoga (passive) and acupressure techniques and is also linked to Buddhism in its current practice. It is used with metta (a term commonly used in southern Buddhism for loving kindness). The masters are usually deeply religious monks who perform the massage in a state of mindfulness, equanimity, compassion and sympathetic joy. We at Hattha share their passion.

Ten selected energy lines are treated by our well trained therapists by gentle stretching and rhythmic pressure of the palm, thumb, knees, elbows and feet. The Thai massage takes place clothed in a beautyful location. It is characterized by its dynamic powerful aspect. A traditional Thai massage for a patient without any special symptoms consists of at least 70 individual treatment techniques and requires at least 1½ hour. Individualized treatment can take up to three hours.
