Thai Traditional Massage

The entire day spa phenomenon in Phuket and the rest of Thailand grew due to the worldwide popularity of traditional Thai massages. This massage is quite unlike what you might imagine. Many people picture a massage at a day spa as a gentle and blissful experience. However, a traditional Thai massage might be considered more like a "passive workout."

 

You’ll wear loose fitting clothing and be asked to lie face down on a mat. Then, the massage therapist will slowly stretch and massage your muscles, tendons and ligaments. They’ll use their entire body, hands, arms, legs, and feet to bend you to their will while slowly increasing your range of motion and releasing the knots and stress from your muscles. At the end of the massage, you’ll feel utterly relaxed and rejuvenated. You’ll also likely enjoy one of the best nights of sleep in your life!

 

Different Types of Massages

Different massage variations have been created that are all based on the movements and practices of a traditional Thai massage. They include:

  • Thai aromatherapy massage
  • Thai herbal compress massage
  • Thai foot massage
  • Thai oil massage

 

Many people find they like to combine the stretching and movements with other therapies, which has led to the creation of these other massages. For example, reflexology is used in the foot massage. This is an ancient practice created by the Chinese which uses pressure points in the feet to benefit the entire body.

If you enjoy a traditional Thai massage, consider exploring the other types available in Phuket's day spas.

 

Phuket’s Spa Menus

Many visitors like to try a particular favourite service at different spas to find their favourite. The treatments include:

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the breathing of essential oils, typically through a diffuser, mister, or heating element, which can be experienced while undergoing a massage or other spa treatments.

Facials

There are several types of facials, but all of them follow a similar function. They’re used to improve the moisture content, health and tone of the facial skin by hydrating, exfoliating, peeling, massaging, and steaming. They can be just the thing to moisturize and revitalize your skin after a long day in the tropical sun.

Hot Stone Treatments

 

Hot stone treatments relieve stress and tension.

 

Hot stone treatments or massages help relieve muscle pain. Hot stones are placed on several locations of the body, including:

  • Chest
  • Spine
  • Face
  • Stomach
  • Palms of the hand
  • Feet and toes

 

In addition to relieving pain, they can also help reduce anxiety, stress and tension.

 

Manicures and Pedicures

The spas in Phuket also offer manicures and pedicures, or "mani-pedis," as they are commonly known. They can be little treats or rewards to yourself just for being on vacation in such a beautiful and fun environment. Just choose your favorite color, sit back, and let the nail technicians turn your fingers and toes into works of art.
