What to Expect at Manara Massage (Royal Thai Massage):

1. Traditional Thai Massage:

   • This is the core treatment that combines acupressure, deep tissue manipulation, and assisted yoga-like stretches. It helps to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and increase flexibility.
   • The therapist uses their hands, forearms, elbows, and feet to apply pressure along specific energy lines (known as Sen lines) in the body. This helps to balance the body's energy flow and promote relaxation.

2. Royal Thai Massage (Enhanced Experience):

   • Premium Oils and Herbs: The Royal Thai Massage version may incorporate high-quality herbal oils, aromatic essential oils, and balms to enhance the healing and relaxing effects.
   • Luxurious Treatment: The experience may also be more indulgent, with soothing music, a comfortable, serene environment, and special care in the massage techniques to provide an extra touch of relaxation and comfort.

3. Aromatherapy and Herbal Treatments:

   • Aromatherapy: Some Royal Thai Massage treatments will include the use of essential oils like jasmine, rose, or sandalwood. These oils are known for their calming properties and may be used during the massage to help reduce stress and improve mental clarity.
   • Herbal Compress: An optional addition could be the use of heated herbal compresses, which contain a blend of Thai herbs such as lemongrass, turmeric, and camphor. These compresses are used to relieve muscle soreness, detoxify the body, and enhance relaxation.

4. Foot Reflexology:

   • Foot massage and reflexology may be included, where pressure is applied to specific points on the feet that correspond to different organs in the body. This can promote overall health and balance by stimulating circulation and relieving tension.

5. Holistic Wellness:

   • Mind and Body Balance: The massage may be designed to not only address physical tension but also promote mental clarity, stress relief, and emotional well-being. The therapist will likely focus on helping you relax and rejuvenate both your body and mind.
   • Energy Flow: Manara Massage may emphasize restoring the flow of energy throughout your body, using techniques passed down through generations of Thai tradition.

6. Private or Couples Treatments:

   • Couples Packages: Manara Massage may offer packages designed for couples, allowing both individuals to enjoy the royal Thai experience together, making it ideal for a romantic or relaxing getaway.

Additional Services You May Find:

• Hot Stone Massage: Heated stones are used to help release tension in the body, enhance circulation, and promote deep relaxation.
• Thai Herbal Steam: A session where you relax in a steam room infused with Thai herbs to detoxify your body and open your pores.
• Facials and Body Scrubs: In addition to massage, you may find beauty treatments such as herbal facials or exfoliating body scrubs that focus on rejuvenating the skin.

Tips for Visiting:

• Communicate Your Preferences: Always let the therapist know if you prefer a lighter or deeper massage, or if you have specific areas of discomfort.
