Thai Massage Therapy
Traditional Thai Massage may very well be the most effective therapeutic bodywork you will ever experience. Thai Massage is a modern expression of a 2500 year old tradition of Oriental bodywork. Thai uses the whole body to treat the whole body.
Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than more classic forms of massage. The therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Thai massage is varied to suit a wide range of physical needs and is often used as a form of physical therapy to help increase range of motion and muscular strength.
Thai Massage works with the body’s movement potential and energy system and is practiced dynamically on a mat on the floor. This allows for movements that are not as effective, or not possible, on a traditional massage table. Thai massage has proven particularly helpful to persons who suffer from a wide range of illnesses including Multiple Sclerosis and Fibromyalgia. Dragonfly is proud to be an official service provider of the Gateway Area Chapter of the National MS Society.

Herbal Sauna
If you were visiting Thailand and had just received a Thai Massage you would then be escorted to an herbal sauna. Herbs are an everyday part of Thai life, and are used in traditional Thai healing for their rejuvenating and balancing effect on the body, mind, and energy. During an herbal sauna the toxins that were released and broken up during the massage are then steamed out of the body and the muscles further relaxed.
