What is Thai massage (60 minutes)?

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, finding a space for your body and mind to rest completely is essential. At NP SPA MASSAGE, we offer a unique and effective therapy: The Thai massage (60 minutes) treatment. This is not just an ordinary massage session, but a journey of energy regeneration, helping you escape from daily stress and fatigue.

What is a Thai massage (60 minutes)?

The Thai massage (60 minutes) treatment is a holistic health care therapy that combines traditional Thai healing arts with yoga postures, acupressure techniques, and deep stretching movements. Unlike typical relaxation massages that use oil, Thai massage is a “dry massage” method, where the recipient wears loose, comfortable clothing throughout the session. 

Within an hour, therapists will use their hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, and even feet to apply pressure to acupressure points, energy lines (called “Sen”), and muscle groups on the body. This process not only helps relieve stress and fatigue but also brings profound benefits to both physical and mental health.

7 golden benefits that make a Thai massage (60 minutes) a worthy investment

In just 60 minutes, Thai massage therapy can bring about magical changes you might not expect. This is not merely relaxation; it is a smart and necessary investment in your overall health, helping you reclaim what you’ve lost after stressful workdays.

Awaken your energy: Instantly relieve stress & fatigue

Imagine shedding an invisible burden. The rhythmic acupressure and stretching movements in Thai massage have a scientific effect on reducing the concentration of cortisol (the stress hormone) accumulated in the body. Simultaneously, this therapy stimulates the brain to produce endorphins – the natural “happiness hormones.” The result is that you not only feel your muscles relax, but your spirit also becomes refreshed, anxiety disappears, and a new source of energy is regenerated almost immediately.

Banish aches and pains: End neck, shoulder & lower back pain

This is a true “savior” for those who sit for long hours at work. The therapist will use their hands, elbows, and even knees to work deep into tense muscle bundles, “untying” the muscle knots that cause persistent pain. Instead of just soothing the surface, Thai massage addresses the root cause of the pain, providing long-lasting relief for the pleading neck, shoulder, and lower back areas.

Restore your sleep: Sleep deeper and more soundly

Restless, shallow sleep often stems from a stressed nervous system. When your body is completely relaxed and blood circulation is improved through massage movements, your nervous system will be soothed and brought back into balance. This helps you fall asleep more easily and naturally, sleep deeper and more soundly, ending the tossing and turning and the feeling of fatigue upon waking up the next morning.

Regain flexibility: Experience “yoga for lazy people”

Thai massage is known worldwide as “passive yoga” for a good reason. You don’t need to exert yourself; the therapists will gently guide your body through stretching movements that you would normally find difficult to do on your own. This process helps expand the range of motion of your joints, enhances the flexibility of your musculoskeletal system, and restores a noticeably more agile and supple body.

Purify the body: Boost blood circulation & eliminate toxins

The rhythmic pressing and kneading movements along the energy lines (Sen Sib) do more than just relax you. They act like a pump, powerfully stimulating the circulatory and lymphatic systems. As a result, oxygen and nutrients are transported to cells more quickly, while the process of eliminating toxins and waste accumulated in the body becomes more efficient, helping you feel lighter and healthier from the inside out.

Improve posture: Helps tone and strengthen muscles

Although it is not a weight-loss therapy, regular and proper stimulation of muscle groups will help them become firmer and healthier. When your muscles are relaxed and return to their proper positions, your posture also improves significantly—your back becomes straighter, your shoulders more open, creating a confident and vibrant physique.

Nourish the spirit: Find peace and tranquility

A Thai massage (60 minutes) is not just a therapy for the body. It is a precious time for you to practice “meditation in motion,” temporarily setting aside all worries to focus only on your breath and the sensations in your body. This process helps you reconnect with yourself, listen to your body, and find the deep inner peace that modern life has inadvertently stolen.

The royal standard process of a Thai massage (60 minutes)

Instead of just being a relaxing session, the royal Thai massage (60 minutes) is an awakening ritual, a deep journey inward to reconnect with your body and mind. Each movement is not just a technique but a healing art passed down through generations, bringing balance and regenerating energy from the core.

Phase 1: Opening the senses & casting off worries (5-10 minutes)

Your journey does not begin on the massage bed, but from the moment you step into the therapy space.

  • Tea ceremony and listening: Instead of a mere consultation, this is a deep dialogue. You will be invited to enjoy a special tea made from royal court herbs and flowers, while the therapist will not only inquire about your physical health but also listen to your thoughts and the invisible burdens you carry.
  • Cleansing and beginning: The feet, which support the entire body, will be soaked in a wooden basin of warm water, mineral salts, and pure jasmine petals. This ritual not only cleanses but also symbolizes washing away the dust of the journey you’ve been on, preparing you for a new beginning.

Phase 2: Awakening energy flow & breaking down barriers (20 minutes)

You will lie on a soft futon mattress, dressed in comfortable cotton attire, and the true exploration of your body begins. 

  • Starting from the “roots”: The session begins with the feet – the foundation of the body. The therapist will use deep pressing techniques with their palms, thumbs, and even elbows along the main “sen” (chakras/energy lines). This technique is like clearing a blocked stream, allowing life energy (qi) to flow freely.
  • Releasing the lower back: Instead of simple rubbing, the therapist will use stretching and passive yoga techniques. Your body will be gently bent and stretched in various positions. The “crocodile twist” or “bow pose” helps break up stiffness in the lower back and hips, releasing trapped negative energy – the main cause of fatigue and stagnation. 

Phase 3: Balancing body-mind & expanding lung capacity (20 minutes)

This is the core phase where balance is restored and the mind is liberated.

  • Reaching and opening the chest: The therapist will kneel behind you, using their knees to support your back and gently pull your hands backward. This movement not only relieves pressure on the neck and shoulders but also expands the chest, increasing lung capacity and helping you breathe more deeply. Each deep breath brings in new vitality and expels old worries.
  • The “dance” of hands on the body: Acupressure, gliding, and kneading techniques will be performed rhythmically from the shoulder blades, down the arms, and ending with the “opening” of each finger. This is when you will clearly feel the connection between different parts of your body and realize they are a unified whole. 

Phase 4: Stillness & revival (10 minutes)

The journey comes to an end, but the regeneration has just begun.

  • Calming the mind: The session concludes with gentle massage movements focusing on the head, face, and temples. The therapist will use their fingertips to press on important acupressure points to soothe the nervous system, bringing you into a state of deep relaxation, almost like meditation.
  • Awakening and enjoying tea: After a few minutes of absolute silence for the body and mind to fully “absorb” the treatment, you will be gently awakened by the sound of a small bell. A cup of warm ginger tea with a slice of candied ginger will be served. The sweet, slightly spicy flavor of the tea not only warms the body but also serves as a wish for a new journey full of energy and clarity that you are about to embark on. 

60 minutes is not just time; it is a precious pause for you to listen, understand, and heal yourself from within. That is the essence of the royal Thai massage (60 minutes).

Factors that create differences in experience and cost

The price of a massage is not just about the movements, but also about the intangible values that come with it.

  • The experience space:
    • Traditional medicine centers: Prices are often the most reasonable, focusing primarily on therapeutic effectiveness and the therapist’s skill.
    • Spas & wellness centers: The cost will be higher, but in return, you get to immerse yourself in a quiet, luxurious space with soothing music, the aroma of essential oils, and premium amenities like steam rooms and jacuzzis. 
  • Geographical location:
    • Prices in major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City will generally be slightly higher than in other provinces.
    • Spas located in prime locations, within 5-star hotels, or in exclusive resorts will have prices that correspond to their level of class and privacy.
  • The art of the expert’s hands:
    • A therapist who merely performs the movements will have a different fee than a massage artisan who has a deep understanding of the body’s energy flows and the ability to “read” your points of tension. Their expertise and experience are a crucial part of the treatment’s value. 

To receive the most accurate quote tailored to your desires, you should contact the spa or treatment center you are interested in directly for a consultation on a personalized experience journey.

Frequently asked questions about Thai massage (60 minutes) (FAQs)

Is the Thai massage (60 minutes) treatment painful?

Thai massage uses firmer pressure than other relaxation massages to work deep into the muscles. You might feel a slight intensity in areas with muscle congestion, but this sensation is quickly replaced by a feeling of relief. The therapist will always listen and adjust the pressure according to your request.

How often should I get a Thai massage for the best results?

To maintain health and flexibility, we recommend experiencing the Thai massage (60 minutes) treatment 1-2 times per month. If you are going through a period of acute stress or pain, a frequency of once a week will yield better recovery results.

What is the main difference between Thai Massage and Swedish Massage?

The biggest difference is that Thai Massage is a dry massage (clothed, no oil), focusing on acupressure and stretching. In contrast, Swedish Massage uses oil and focuses on long, gliding strokes and kneading to relax the muscles.

Can I ask the therapist to adjust the massage pressure?

Absolutely. Communicating with your therapist is key to a perfect massage session. Do not hesitate to let them know if you want stronger or lighter pressure on any part of your body.
