Traditional Thai Massage is an ancient healing art employing a unique system and technique. By using pressure points on the body, this massage can relieve tension,pain,strain, stress, headache, backache, stiff neck, etc. Thai massage promotes healing, mental relaxation and improves your blood circulation.
The essence of this kind of massage is very different from what is generally associated with the word 'massage'. Whereas most traditional western and eastern massage practices focus on tissue manipulation and the working of the muscles and joints, Thai Massage barely touches on either of these. It is rather a working of the pressure points, energy lines, and basic body forces which together produce a highly therapeutic effect.

This kind of massage is performed on a mat(on the floor), rather than on a raised table. This allows many movements and procedures that are not practical or effective in table work, and even sometimes impossible. Specifically, mat work allows maximum effective use of the practitioner's balanced body weight, rather than mere muscular force used in other types of massage.

Traditional Thai massage can be used on a part of the body. It is an appropriate treatment to cure injured parts of the body like a leg, arm, back, neck or shoulder. You can compare this with the treatment of a physiotherapist in western countries. The special technique of Thai massage that is based on using pressure points on the body, is the difference between Thai massage and other types. So, instead of a massage of the whole body, you can choose for a traditional massage of a part of the body. A lot of people suffer from a stiff neck or from stuck muscles in the shoulder and/or neck.

A 'shoulder/neck/ back' massage is a useful treatment. But when you feel tired after a long trip in an airplane or bus/train, you can also choose for such a refreshing massage. This massage is given on a mat on the floor. In Shewa Spa you can also choose for a treatment on a special massage-chair. To cure or just to relax: we advise you to try and have a massage on this chair.
