FAQs

What is Thai massage?

Thai massage is an ancient healing technique that combines stretching, acupressure, and rhythmic pressing along the body’s energy lines. Unlike traditional table massages, it’s often performed on a mat with the client fully clothed, making it deeply therapeutic and relaxing.

Is Thai massage painful?

Thai massage should never be painful. You may feel a deep stretch or firm pressure, but it should always feel relieving rather than uncomfortable. Our licensed therapists adjust pressure based on your comfort level.

How is Thai massage different from Swedish or deep tissue massage?

  • Thai massage: Focuses on stretching, joint mobilization, and energy flow.

  • Swedish massage: Uses long, gliding strokes with oil for relaxation.

  • Deep tissue massage: Targets deeper muscle layers to release chronic tension.

    At The Grand Dara Thai Massage, you can choose or combine techniques depending on your needs.

What should I wear during a Thai massage?

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing. For oil massage services, clients may undress to their comfort level and will always be professionally draped.

How often should I get a massage?

It depends on your lifestyle and health goals. Many clients benefit from a massage once a week or once every two weeks. Even a monthly massage can help reduce stress, improve flexibility, and support overall wellness.
