Thailand being one of the worldwide tourist destinations, it is also the perfect place to go on a relaxing spa adventure. Whether you choose a spa in Pattaya or a luxurious spa resort launched in any part of the country, like in hotels such as AVANI Hotels and Resorts, the question of what is the perfect massage would always overwhelm you.
Here are a few relaxing treatments to pick from on the perfect spa vacation:
The hot stone massage, is when stones, generally smooth basalt stones, heated to over 50 degrees celcius are placed in certain places of the body, to ease muscle tension. The stones will also be used to insert pressure on the body. Sometimes cold stones will be used. This is considered an immensely relaxing treatment. The Swedish massage is when the therapist uses five types of strokes on your body to rid the body of toxins. The strokes are generally; Petrissage (kneading), effleurage (sliding or gliding,) friction (cross-fibre) , tapotement (tapping) and vibration. This is a completely relaxing treatment, most of the time, healthy to the heart.
The Thai massage is a relaxing treatment derived from ancient treatments in China and India over 200 years ago. Therapists usually use their hands, feet, knees and legs to stretch your body and give you the required relaxation. This massage enhances the flexibility of your body and helps you to be boosted with energy at all times. Reflexology is a concept that nerve endings in your head, toes, hands and ears are connected to the main organs of the body such as the brain and the heart. The treatment is said to improve blood circulation while minimising body stress and tensions. Aromatherapy is when essential oils including Rose, Lavender and Neroli oils are used to prompt healing action in the body. This is a soothing treatment which will calm your skin and your body in general.
