Traditional Thai dry massage, also known as Thai yoga massage or Thai bodywork, is a type of massage therapy that originated in Thailand. Unlike Swedish massage, which uses oils and lotions, traditional Thai dry massage is performed on a mat on the floor and the recipient remains fully clothed.

During a traditional Thai dry massage, the therapist uses a combination of acupressure, stretching, and compression techniques to manipulate the body’s energy lines and release tension in the muscles. The therapist may use their hands, elbows, knees, and feet to apply pressure to specific points on the body, targeting areas of tightness or discomfort.

Traditional Thai dry massage is known for its invigorating and energizing effects, as well as its ability to improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and promote overall well-being. It is often used to relieve stress, increase circulation, and improve range of motion in the joints.
