Thai Massage at Healing Spa in Sherman Oaks, CA
Thai massage is a more active style of bodywork. Instead of long oil strokes, your therapist applies pressure with hands, thumbs, and forearms while guiding you through assisted stretches. It is a good change of pace if regular table massage feels too passive.
What thai massage is
Thai massage combines rhythmic compression along the body with slow, supported stretching of the arms, legs, hips, and back. Sessions are typically done with you comfortably clothed and without oil, so the movement stays easy.
What to expect
- Wear or request comfortable clothing you can move in — the session involves stretching.
- Your therapist works with compression and pressure rather than gliding oil strokes.
- You will be guided through supported stretches at a pace that stays comfortable.
- You can ask for less range or lighter pressure at any point.
Who tends to book it
- Guests who feel stiff rather than sore and want more movement
- Anyone who enjoys stretching and a more hands-on, active session
- Athletes and regular gym-goers looking for mobility-focused work
- Guests who prefer a massage without oil
