Experience Traditional Thai Massage in Perth

Traditional Thai massage is a distinctive style of massage with a long history in Thailand. Unlike an oil-based relaxation massage, it typically combines assisted stretching, rhythmic pressure and therapist-guided movement.
During a session, your therapist may use their hands, thumbs, forearms, elbows or other techniques depending on the massage and your preferences. The pressure and stretching can be adjusted throughout your appointment, so please let your therapist know what feels comfortable for you.
At Tara Massage Therapy, we’ve been providing massage in Perth since 2013. Over the years, we’ve found that clients choose Traditional Thai massage for many different reasons. Some enjoy the stretching and movement, while others simply prefer this style of massage to a conventional relaxation massage.
Our Highgate clinic is conveniently located just minutes from Perth CBD. Whether you already enjoy Traditional Thai massage or are trying it for the first time, our therapists can discuss your preferences with you before your session begins.

What to Expect From Traditional Thai Massage in Perth

Traditional Thai massage is quite different from a conventional oil massage. It combines therapist-assisted stretching, rhythmic pressure and guided movement, usually performed without oil.

1. Assisted Stretching and Movement

Your therapist may guide your arms, legs and body through a variety of comfortable stretches and movements. The session can be adjusted depending on your flexibility and preferences.

2. Rhythmic Pressure

Traditional Thai massage commonly uses hands, thumbs, palms and other techniques to apply rhythmic pressure throughout the session. Pressure can be adapted to your comfort level.

3. A More Active Style of Massage

Unlike a relaxation massage where you generally remain in one position, Thai massage may involve changing positions and moving different areas of the body throughout the treatment.

4. Tailored to Your Preferences

Some clients enjoy stronger pressure and more stretching, while others prefer a gentler approach. Let your therapist know what feels comfortable for you before and during your massage.

5. No Oil Required

Traditional Thai massage is generally performed without massage oil, making it a good option for clients who prefer this style of treatment.
At Tara Massage Therapy, we’ve been providing massage in Perth since 2013. If you’re new to Traditional Thai massage, simply let your therapist know and we can explain what to expect before your session begins.

At Tara Massage Therapy, Traditional Thai massage has been part of our services since we opened in Perth in 2013. Over the years, we’ve found that clients choose this style of massage for many different reasons — some enjoy the assisted stretching and movement, while others simply prefer it to an oil-based massage.

If you’ve never tried Traditional Thai massage before, don’t worry. Our therapists can explain what to expect and adjust the session as you go.

After Your Traditional Thai Massage

After a Traditional Thai massage, everyone feels a little different. Some clients feel relaxed straight away, while others notice that their body simply feels different after the stretching, pressure and movement used during the session.
There’s no complicated post-massage routine you need to follow. Take a little time to notice how you feel and continue with your day at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
If something felt particularly tight or sensitive during your massage, let your therapist know at your next visit. This helps us understand your preferences and adjust future sessions accordingly.
At Tara Massage Therapy, we’ve been working with Perth clients since 2013, and one thing we’ve learned is that massage preferences can change from one appointment to the next. Communication with your therapist is always welcome.

Best remedial massage you can get!

A great place for a great massage. In my opinion they’re best in business. The best part about their service is that they ask you where you want them to focus and later treat that area to perfection.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Excellent… it was one of the best massages I’ve ever had (and I’ve had many over the years). The massage was faultless … thorough, unhurried, perfect pressure… just perfect in every sense. I highly recommend Tara massage 🙂

Highly recommend Tara Massage. The booking process is easy and efficient. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. The communication is great, ensuring you are comfortable and they always confirm what type of massage you want including how soft/hard to massage.

In Perth for the 2018 Rottnest channel swim. After the exhausting day we all piled into the car and headed for a post swim massage. (Booked a week in advance at Tara Massage for the three of us).

At 30yrs old I’ve had a few massages including Bodhi which in all honesty was a disappointment especially compared to Tara’s massage which I went to today.

Hana B
“

One of the best Massages this side of Bali. Gently unleashed every knot in my back without having to direct her to any specific zone, one by one she just found them all. I also like that Tiger Balm was used rather than just an oil.
