ExclusiveVerified listingWhat is thai massage?
Traditional Thai massage is performed on a firm mat on the floor, with the client in loose clothing and no oil. The therapist uses hands, thumbs, elbows, knees and feet to apply rhythmic compression along the body's energy lines (sen), and moves the client through a sequence of assisted yoga-like stretches. It is sometimes called lazy yoga for that reason.
The effect is different from oil massage: rather than relaxation through touch, it produces a sense of openness and mobility, particularly in the hips, hamstrings and spine. It suits people who feel stiff rather than knotted, who want to be stretched, or who prefer to stay clothed.
Sessions run 60, 90 or 120 minutes, and ninety is the traditional length. Thai massage is widely offered by Thai-trained therapists and dedicated studios in the larger cities; the Thai oil massage listed by some venues is a gentler hybrid closer to Swedish massage.

Where to find it in London
Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea hold the high-end clinics and hotel spas, where ninety-minute treatments and a few days' notice are the norm and rates run a third above the rest of the city. Soho and Shoreditch are younger and later, with studios open until ten and a strong showing of Thai and deep tissue work for people coming straight from the office. Kensington and Paddington have the largest number of independent therapists working from their own treatment rooms, and Canary Wharf is almost entirely a weekday market: mobile massage to offices and hotels, sports and back treatments booked at lunchtime, and very little at weekends.
