On the mat
Thai massage, clothed, at floor level
For anyone who likes to be moved as well as pressed, and for yoga students who want someone else to take the stretch.
Thai massage is a hands-on tradition from Thailand. You lie on a padded mat in loose clothes, and your therapist works from the floor beside you, pressing with palms, thumbs and forearms and guiding your legs, hips and shoulders into slow stretches.
45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes
No oil, and you stay clothed

Questions about the mat
Can I wear what I wore to work?
If you can bend in it. Many people bring loose trousers and a soft top and change when they arrive.
What if a stretch is too much?
Say so and we ease off or move on. We take each one only as far as you choose.
Will I be sore afterward?
Some people feel it the next day and some do not. Tell us how you felt and we will adjust the next visit.
