Should I tip?

 

In the massage industry it is etiquette to tip your therapist if you’re happy with your service.  You’re most likely receiving chair massage as part of an employee benefit or staff appreciation and in that case it is entirely up to you if you would like to add something extra for your therapist.  We offer all of our corporate clients the chance to tip on behalf of their staff at the end of the service as well.

What is Thai Massage?

 

Thai massage has been passed down for many generations.  Many refer to it as “energy work with a physical application” and “lazy man’s yoga.” In a mini Thai massage clients can get a sample of what a full length traditional Thai massage would be like.  Thai is performed on a Thai mat, similar to a futon, on the floor.  The client is fully clothed with their shoes off.  Many of the positions combine kneading, compressions called palm presses and rolling movements called forearm rolls.  Passive stretching and breathing are integral parts of the service as well.  If your business would like to offer Thai massage we will bring “thai fisherman” pants for convenience.  These are “one sized” fits all moveable pants that allow them to receive this type of body work comfortably.  Feelings one can expect after a Thai massage are: taller, lighter and often times it can be relaxing or energizing.
