Traditional Thai massage
Supported stretches. Time to unwind.
Care, with room to ask.
Traditional Thai massage combines hands-on pressure with assisted stretches. Rather than rushing through a routine, your session makes space to settle, discuss your preferences and find a comfortable pace.
Wear loose clothing that allows movement. Tell Dora about injuries, movement limitations or areas where you prefer less pressure. You remain involved: a gentler stretch, a different position or a pause is always something you can ask for.
What to expect
- A clothed treatment in loose, comfortable clothing
- Pressure and stretches explained beforehand
- A pace shaped around your comfort
A little understanding
Massage may help some people relax or find temporary relief from muscle discomfort. Evidence varies across techniques and conditions; research on other massage types does not establish the effects of Thai massage.

Traditional Thai massage: your questions.
What should I wear for a Thai massage?
Loose, comfortable clothing that allows movement. Traditional Thai massage here is a clothed treatment. Choose a comfortable top and loose trousers, and allow time to arrive without rushing.
Do I need to be flexible?
No particular flexibility target is required to ask about a session. The movements should be adapted to a comfortable range after discussing suitability.
Is Thai massage painful?
Pressure should be discussed and adjusted. You can ask for lighter contact, a smaller stretch or a pause; pain is not a requirement.
Is full body Thai massage the same as sports massage?
They are different descriptions. Thai massage here combines pressure and assisted stretching. The session focuses on a comfortable combination of pressure and movement; it does not include a sports injury diagnosis or rehabilitation programme.
Can I have Thai massage while injured or pregnant?
Tell Dora before arranging a session and ask your healthcare professional about suitability. Techniques may need modification, postponement or avoidance.
How long is a session with Dora?
