Thai Oil Massage

A softer, continuous style using warm oil and long strokes rather than deep pressure points. Performed on a massage table with professional draping throughout.

This is the plainest of our three oil massages, and the least expensive. The oil is a light unscented massage oil: no essential-oil blend, no coconut. If you have not had an oil massage before, or you want one without deciding anything about fragrance, start here.

The difference from traditional Thai massage is the whole treatment, not just the oil. Traditional Thai is dry, worked through loose clothing on a mat, and moves you through assisted stretches. This is worked on a table, on skin, under professional draping, and it does not stretch you at all. People who find traditional Thai too firm usually mean the stretching, and this is the treatment they move to.

Who is this massage suitable for?

General tension and tiredness.
First-time massage guests.
Anyone who finds traditional Thai massage too firm.
