“Thai massage is like a graceful dance between therapist and client. Through
gentle stretching, rhythmic compression, and mindful movement, this ancient
practice helps your body rediscover its natural flexibility and ease.
No oils, no need to undress – just comfortable clothes and an openness to experiencing massage in a completely different way.”– Julien, Your Massage Therapist
What is Thai Massage?
Thai massage is an intensive form of bodywork that combines deep pressure, assisted stretching, and rhythmic compressions along your body’s energy lines. Often called “passive yoga,” this vigorous treatment is performed on a floor mat with you wearing loose, comfortable clothing.
Unlike typical table massages, Thai massage is quite physical and interactive – I’ll guide your body through dynamic stretches whilst applying firm pressure to release tension points. This isn’t a gentle, drift-off-to-sleep treatment. Instead, it’s an energising technique that works deeply into your muscles to improve flexibility, release stubborn knots, and leave you feeling refreshed rather than drowsy.
The Under Pressure Thai Massage Experience
- Authentic Thai techniques that work with your current flexibility level
- Full-body treatment progressing from feet to head
- Firm to deep pressure using hands, elbows, knees, and feet – this is vigorous bodywork, not gentle relaxation
- No oils or lotions needed – you stay fully clothed
- Extensive stretching throughout – expect to be moved and stretched actively
- Minimum 60-minute sessions on a professional floor mat (proper Thai massage can’t be rushed)
- I provide comfortable shorts and t-shirts for your session, or you can bring your own loose clothing if preferred

Who Benefits from Thai Massage
Thai massage attracts people comfortable with intensive bodywork who want improved flexibility and energy. This vigorous treatment suits those who enjoy deep pressure and active stretching – it’s not for everyone. Whilst I adapt the techniques to your flexibility level, you should be prepared for firm pressure and dynamic movements that can feel quite intense. Think of it more like assisted stretching at the gym than a spa relaxation treatment.
The intensive stretching in Thai massage works deep into hip flexors and back muscles after hours at a desk. Office workers who can handle firm pressure appreciate how the vigorous movements counteract prolonged sitting stiffness
Athletes often add Thai massage to their training routine for the deep stretching and muscle work. The intense passive stretches complement active training - expect it to feel like a workout partner stretching you out, not a relaxing recovery session.
The firm, rhythmic pressure of Thai massage targets deep-seated tension that won't shift with gentler methods. This is intensive bodywork for those who need strong pressure to feel results.
If you want to improve flexibility and don't mind being stretched beyond your comfort zone, Thai massage pushes your range of motion further than you'd manage alone. It's challenging but effective.
Since Thai massage is performed fully clothed, it suits people who prefer not to undress for treatments. No oils, no skin exposure - just wear comfortable clothes and prepare for vigorous movement.
If you usually get table massages that make you sleepy, Thai massage offers the opposite - an invigorating experience that leaves you alert and energised, like after a good stretching session at the gym.
Frequently Asked Questions
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows full movement - yoga clothes or athletic wear work perfectly. Long trousers and a t-shirt are ideal. We have a private space for changing if needed. The massage is performed fully clothed, and you'll be stretched and moved extensively, so avoid restrictive clothing.
You don't need to be flexible, but you should be comfortable with intensive stretching. I'll work within your current range but will push towards your limits - that's how Thai massage improves flexibility. It's vigorous work, not gentle stretching, so expect to feel challenged.
Thai massage is performed on a floor mat, fully clothed, without oils. It's highly physical and interactive - I'll move your body through dynamic positions whilst applying deep pressure. Unlike relaxing table massages, Thai massage is energising and intensive, more like assisted stretching at the gym.
Yes, proper Thai massage requires at least 60 minutes. This intensive technique can't be rushed - we need time to warm up your body, work through all muscle groups systematically, and cool down safely. Shorter sessions wouldn't do the technique justice.
Thai massage involves firm pressure and intensive stretching - you'll feel strong sensations in tight areas, like a deep workout stretch. I adjust based on your tolerance, but this isn't gentle work. Many clients describe it as "good pain" - challenging but manageable, leaving them feeling worked-out rather than relaxed.
This depends on your goals and how well you handle intensive bodywork. Athletes might book weekly for flexibility maintenance, whilst others come monthly. Your body needs recovery time between these vigorous sessions - we can discuss frequency after seeing how you respond to the treatment.
