FAQ’s
What should I expect at my first Thai massage session?
Since Thai Massage is done with you lying on the floor, expect to be lying on a mat of some sort, most hopefully one of thick “memory foam”. Once you are prone on the mat, your therapist will likely seat at your side in the traditional “Wai” posture, similar to kneeling for prayer. This is considered respectful of the client. The session will last at least an hour.
