Traditional Thai Massage is unlike forms of Swedish and Sports massage that people often encounter in the UK. Firstly, it is carried out on a thick floor mat rather than a massage table. Loose clothing is also worn and no oil is used.
It is often described as ‘lazy man’s yoga thanks to the diverse range of full-body assisted stretches it uses. Massage therapists are also not just limited to fingers and thumbs; palms, forearms, elbows, knees and feet are used to carefully apply pressure along the Sen lines that Thai medicine believes run through our body.
A massage from Thai Go Massage Therapy will follow a northern style; it will be smooth, slow and delightfully relaxing. To learn more go to What is Traditional Thai Massage? on our About page.

When your therapist arrives they bring everything to ensure you have the best experience possible. They use a thick floor mat, pillows, wool blanket, fresh sheets and towels.
They also use several items that require power; a heated blanket, a kettle, a speaker and a diffuser. Only one plug socket is required thanks to an extension cable.

To enjoy full relaxation, avoid eating heavy meals two hours before your massage. Please may you also avoid taking alcohol or recreational drugs prior to your massage as this is not permitted.
During the massage, you will remain fully clothed. Therefore, you should wear comfortable or loose-fitting clothing. This could include gym wear, loungewear or loose linen clothing.

Firstly, prepare a space in your home so there is approximately 3 x 3 meters of empty floor space. This is where the massage will take place. Ideally, this room will remain as free from disruption as possible so that you can fully relax during your massage. If there are any children or pets in the house, they should be supervised by an adult in a different room.
Please ensure this floor space has been cleaned and vacuumed before your therapist arrives. In addition, make one nearby plug socket free for them to use.
-
Before your massage, your therapist will revise your client information form with you to discuss any current health issues. The therapist will tailor the massage to your needs to ensure you get the most out of it.
You can also make requests at any time during the massage. That could be to change the pressure, spend longer in a specific position or inform them of any discomfort you may be experiencing.
We ask that if you are experiencing an infectious disease or virus in the days approaching your massage you cancel your appointment via Acuity Scheduling. This is to avoid illness spreading to both the therapist and other clients.
If you have any allergies, then please inform your therapist. They will always vacuum their equipment after every visit and will always use fresh linen.
