Deep tissue massage is beneficial for correcting imbalances in muscle length and tone and improves the circulation and lymphatic flow in the treatment area. It is very effective in treating muscle tension caused by exercise, stress, heavy lifting and prolonged postures.
Thai massage is a deep tissue massage which uses pressure points, muscle stretching and compression in a rhythmic motion to relieve stress, release tension from muscles and joints and increase circulation. Therapists may use their hands, feet, elbows, forearms and knees to perform the massage and they may also use equipment such as hot stones and Bamboo.

This type of massage is very effective in releasing muscle tension, reducing stress & anxiety and improving circulation.
