No oils are used in traditional Thai massage
The therapist will ask about any pain or problem areas

Pressure can be adjusted to your comfort level
After the Massage

Thai massage should not be painful, but it can feel strong. Always communicate with your therapist so they can adjust the pressure to your preference.
