This massage is performed on a massage bed, rather than on the floor.
This type of massage is common in Thai massage parlors and spas.
It is designed to be simple and efficient, fitting into a one-hour massage.
You'll start in a prone position, then move on to a back-up and then a seated position.
We have 1 day and 2 days class.
