Thai Massage. An Ancient Form of Massage at The Grand.

Thai Masasage - Grand Beauty SpaBut what IS Thai massage?!

An ancient form of massage thought to have been developed by Buddhist monks in Thailand 2,500 years ago,  Thai massage uses passive stretching and gentle pressure along the body’s energy lines to increase flexibility, relieve muscle and joint tension and balance the body’s energy systems.

How Does Thai Massage Work?

Thai massage typically works with compression — rhythmic pressing movements created to mimic the movement of a majestic elephant, highly revered in Thai culture. These movements are directed into muscle tissues while the person is […]

Thai Massage. Relax. Rejuvenate. You’ll Love it!

Developed more than 2,000 years ago in Thailand, Thai Massage remains a popular technique that incorporates aspects of yoga, acupressure, energy balancing, and massage.

Considered one of the ancient healing arts of traditional Thai medicine (which historically also included herbal practice, nutrition, and spiritual meditation), Thai massage was originally passed from teacher to teacher within the Buddhist temples, while Thai families used it as a healing folk art.

Unfortunately, much of the history of Thai massage was lost during the Burmese invasion of Thailand in 1767. Today, Thai massage continues to be a mainstay in Thai medicine, while quickly gaining a new […]

The Benefits of Prenatal Massage Therapy

Prenatal Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal care. It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness.

Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling).

In addition, massage for pregnant women reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension — which aids in better sleep.
It is also a very special time to share between mother and baby.

Call the Grand Beauty Spa to book your massage for the mothers to be!

The Two most Frequently Asked Questions About Massage Therapy

I’ve been a therapist for 8 years and there are two questions about massage therapy I get asked the most. I would love to put everyone’s questions and worries at ease.

Massage therapy does not heal or cure your body, but rather it gives your body support to heal itself.

Benefits You May Not Know About Thai Massage

Most of us know that massage feels good; but therapeutic massage, such as traditional Thai  massage, also provides relief to several health concerns.

Traditional Thai massage helps a person’s muscles, joints, ligaments and fascia by relaxing muscle tension, relieving the spasm, and improving the range of motion.

The combination of pressure on specific points and yoga like stretches in traditional Thai massage relieves areas of muscular stress and tension. In fact, recipients often report that their muscles stay loose days after a session.

Additionally, traditional Thai massage helps a person’s cardio vascular system by dilating the blood vessels, so the circulation is increased. […]
