Are you looking for a method to improve your health, reduce joint pain, and enhance your body’s flexibility? The Thai massage (90 minutes) at NP SPA MASSAGE is the answer. With a combination of traditional stretching, acupressure, and pressure point techniques, this session not only soothes pain but also stimulates blood circulation, bringing new vitality to your body.
What is a Thai massage (90 minutes)?
A Thai massage (90 minutes) is a full-body massage session lasting for an hour and a half, based on the traditional healing methods of Thailand. This is considered the most ideal and popular duration to fully and deeply experience the essence of this unique massage technique, providing deep relaxation, energy restoration, and comprehensive health improvement.
Unlike relaxing massages that use oil, traditional Thai massage is performed on a thin mat on the floor, and the recipient wears loose, comfortable clothing throughout the process. The technician will use a diverse combination of movements including acupressure, muscle compression, stretching, and passive yoga postures. They use not only their hands but also rhythmically coordinate their feet, knees, and elbows to apply pressure to the energy lines (called “Sen”) in the body.
Why are 90 minutes the golden timeframe for an authentic Thai massage session?
Many people often hesitate between a 60-minute and a 90-minute session when choosing a Thai massage. If 60 minutes is a gentle melody that helps you temporarily forget your fatigue, then 90 minutes is a complete symphony, guiding your body and mind into the deepest state of balance and recovery. This isn’t just an extra 30 minutes; it’s a worthy investment in your overall well-being.
Reaching the root of the pain: a deeper impact than just relaxation
With a duration of 90 minutes, technicians have enough time and space to perform each movement slowly and precisely. Instead of just skimming the surface for temporary relaxation, they can focus deeply on each pressure point and every muscle group that has become stiff due to stress and daily habits.
- Clearing the meridians: The energy from pressing, rubbing, and kneading movements has enough time to penetrate deeply, helping to clear the meridians and unblock the flow of stagnant energy – which is the source of chronic aches and pains like shoulder, neck, and lower back pain.
- Releasing trigger points: The technician can identify and release muscular “knots,” helping you feel lighter and more flexible immediately after the session.
The “golden time” for mind and body to achieve absolute balance
Our body needs a necessary quiet period to turn off its defense mode and completely let go. 60 minutes is sometimes not enough to cross this threshold. 90 minutes is the “golden time” for your nervous system to shift from a sympathetic state (stress, fight-or-flight) to a parasympathetic state (rest, digest, and self-heal). At that point, your mind will become calm, your breathing will deepen, and your body truly begins the natural process of recovery from within. This is the state where true healing occurs.
Optimizing therapeutic effects with hot stones and herbs
The greatest advantage of a 90-minute session is its ability to perfectly combine supplementary therapies without diluting the core Thai massage experience.
- Deep-penetrating hot stones: The heat from volcanic basalt stones needs time to transfer deep into the muscle layers, helping to soften the most hardened muscle areas.
- Pervasive herbal aromas: Herbal compress bags containing lemongrass, ginger, mugwort, and more have ample time to release their effects. The heat and natural essential oils will absorb through the skin, helping to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and bring a sense of absolute tranquility to both the body and the senses.
The 7 golden benefits of a Thai massage (90 minutes) session
A Thai massage (90 minutes) session is not just about extra relaxation time. It is the ideal duration for the body and mind to reach the deepest state of recovery. Below are the 7 golden benefits that only a complete session can provide.
Deeply relieves muscle tension, reaching the root of the pain
With 90 minutes, the technician has enough time to perform movements slowly, applying deep and precise pressure to each tense muscle bundle or blocked acupressure point. This is particularly effective in treating chronic pain in the neck, shoulders, and lower back, helping to release “muscle knots” and provide long-lasting relief rather than just superficial relaxation.
Maximizes the body’s flexibility and suppleness
Known as “yoga for the lazy,” Thai massage is distinguished by its full-body stretching movements. A 90-minute timeframe allows for a diverse series of stretches, holding poses long enough for joints, tendons, and ligaments to be fully released. The result is a significant improvement in your range of motion, leaving your body more supple and flexible.
Brings the mind into a state of absolute relaxation
The body and mind need a certain amount of time to switch off the stress mode and enter a state of true rest. 90 minutes is the “golden time” for the nervous system to completely unwind and for the breath to become deep and steady. This state of deep relaxation helps reduce the stress hormone cortisol, dispels anxiety, and effectively regenerates mental energy.
Opens energy channels, restoring life force
According to traditional Thai medicine, life energy (Lom) flows through channels (Sen) in the body. A 90-minute session ensures the technician can work sequentially and thoroughly on these main energy lines. Clearing the energy flow helps to dissipate feelings of sluggishness and fatigue, providing you with a fresh and abundant source of vitality.
Improves blood circulation and enhances detoxification
The rhythmic pressing, compressing, and stretching movements over 90 minutes act like a pump, strongly boosting blood and lymphatic circulation throughout the body. This not only helps transport oxygen and nutrients to cells more efficiently but also supports the body’s natural detoxification process, leading to healthier-looking skin and a stronger body from the inside out.
Improves the quality of deeper, more restful sleep
When the body is relieved of aches and pains, the nervous system is soothed, and the mind becomes tranquil, sleep quality will naturally improve. Many people report sleeping deeper, more soundly, and waking up less during the night after a 90-minute Thai massage session.
Provides a complete and multi-sensory therapeutic experience
The longer duration allows you to enjoy an unhurried experience, fully immersing yourself in the therapeutic space. Furthermore, it opens up the opportunity to combine supplementary therapies like hot herbal compresses or hot stone massage. The aroma from the herbs and the warmth from the stones will have enough time to penetrate, engaging multiple senses and elevating the massage into a true healing ritual.
Discover the 5-step golden process of a Thai massage (90 minutes) at the spa
A Thai massage (90 minutes) session at a spa is not just a series of simple massage movements, but a well-structured therapeutic ritual. The 5-step golden process below will transform your 90 minutes into a journey of awakening energy and comprehensively restoring your body.
Step 1: Awakening the senses & in-depth consultation (approx. 5-10 minutes)
our journey doesn’t start on the massage mat, but the moment you step into the tranquil space of the spa.
- Welcome & tea enjoyment: You will be invited to enjoy a warm cup of herbal tea and use a cool towel to wash away initial fatigue. The subtle scent of lemongrass essential oil will help you quickly shed your outside worries.
- 1-on-1 consultation: A therapist will take the time to listen and discuss your current health condition: areas of the body that are sore, desired pressure levels, and any issues to be aware of (history of injuries, blood pressure, etc.). This process ensures the session is “personalized” to deliver the highest effectiveness and safety for you.
Step 2: Cleansing & body preparation (approx. 5-10 minutes)
This is an important transitional step, helping you wash away the dust of the day and prepare for the main treatment.
- Changing clothes: You will be provided with a set of loose, breathable clothing made from natural cotton, specifically for Thai massage.
- Foot washing ritual: Your feet will be soaked in warm herbal water mixed with mineral salts and a few slices of lemon and lemongrass. The specialist will gently exfoliate and massage your feet to relax them. According to Eastern medicine, this ritual is a sign of respect and also a way to “open the energy gates” for the entire body.
Step 3: Full-body therapy – awakening energy (approx. 60-65 minutes)
This is the “heart” of the 90-minute session, where the exquisite techniques of Thai massage are performed sequentially and systematically.
- Starting from the feet: The session begins at the feet, calves, and thighs with acupressure movements along the energy lines (sen).
- Deep work on the torso: The specialist will use their palms, thumbs, elbows, and even knees to press, knead, and rub deeply into the large muscle areas of the back, hips, and shoulders.
- In-depth stretching: You will be assisted by the specialist to perform a series of passive yoga poses. The 90-minute duration allows for complex stretching movements to be performed slowly and held long enough for the joints to be released and muscles to be maximally relaxed. You will alternate between supine, prone, side-lying, and seated positions to work on the body from every angle.
Step 4: Balancing & deep-level relaxation (approx. 5-10 minutes)
After the intense work, the body needs to be brought back to a state of balance and rest.
- Relaxing the neck and shoulders: In a seated position, you will undergo final stretching movements for the neck, shoulder, and shoulder blade areas, releasing any last vestiges of tension.
- Head and face massage: The session concludes with gentle massage movements, pressing on acupoints on the head, temples, and face. This step helps to soothe the nervous system, reduce headaches, and bring about a feeling of absolute serenity.
Step 5: Rest & recovery (approx. 5 minutes)
Your experience doesn’t end the moment the specialist leaves. This final recovery phase helps the body fully “absorb” the benefits of the treatment session.
- Resting in place: You will have a few minutes to lie quietly on the mat to feel the changes in your body, allowing blood pressure and energy to gradually stabilize.
- Enjoying warm ginger tea: After changing, you will be invited to have a cup of warm ginger tea and a light snack (jam, biscuits). Ginger tea not only helps to warm the body from the inside but also supports blood circulation, helping you end your treatment journey feeling refreshed and full of vitality.

Factors that customize your experience (and cost)
The final cost depends not only on the service package but is also “adjusted” by the following factors:
- Your therapeutic “masterpiece”: Is your session a traditional Thai massage or a “symphony” combined with hot stones or herbal compress bags? Each of these additional elements will add value and cost to the treatment session.
- The treatment space: Do you choose a luxurious “oasis” in the city center or a cozy, intimate space? Large, reputable establishments with modern equipment and a team of leading specialists often have prices commensurate with their quality.
- Smart choices – investing in packages: The cost will be much more optimal when you invest in a full course of treatment (5-10 sessions) instead of paying for each session individually.
