Thai Herbal Compress Massage combines the healing effects of traditional Eastern massage techniques with a light pressure of patting, rolling, and kneading to create a gentle but deeply effective massage.
This treatment is wonderfully warming and soothing, ideal this time of year as a detox. The heat causes the pores of your skin to open and the herbs go into the blood stream and circulate around the body to detox all toxins and waste that 
your body doesn’t need which causes sluggishness and letheragy. The compresses are warmed in a steamer and then used on areas of need on the body. If your shoulders are prone to tension and tightness then the warming compresses are used to loosten those tight muscles.
