What it is.
Thai massage is unlike any other on this menu. You wear loose comfortable clothing throughout. There is no oil. The therapist works on a mat (provided) using palm pressure, thumb pressure, and a series of assisted stretches that look a little like passive yoga. The technique is centuries old.
Who it suits.
For the body that does not want to take its clothes off but does want to be worked on. For the runner, the yogi, the person who feels stiff more than tense. For anyone curious about the technique.
What to expect.
10 min
Arrival
Setup is different — a thick mat instead of a table. Wear loose comfortable clothing (we will remind you when you book).
10 min
Opening
The therapist begins at your feet, working slowly upward.
35 min
The work
Palm pressure along the legs, thumb pressure along the back, then a sequence of assisted stretches — the therapist supports your body through positions that lengthen muscle groups you do not usually access.
5 min
The close
A short rest in stillness.
What we bring.
A folding floor mat (different from our usual table), pillows, no oil. We will let you know what to wear at booking.
What you'll need.
A quiet room with floor space about 2m × 3m. 60–90 minutes uninterrupted. Loose clothing — yoga clothes are perfect.
Add-ons.
- Extra 15 minutes (+40 AED). Other add-ons not applicable to Thai.
Who carries it.
Therapists trained in Thai technique. At booking you will see which therapists offer it.
Honest answers.
Will the stretches hurt?
They should not. The therapist works within your range and asks for feedback throughout. If something hurts, it stops.
Do I need to be flexible?
No. The therapist adjusts each stretch to your body.
Is this more "spa" or "exercise"?
Both, neither. It is its own thing. You will likely sleep well that night.
