Summary
Introduction
Inherited from a thousand-year-old tradition, Thai massage is performed fully clothed, on a futon, without oil. It combines pressure, gentle mobilizations, and stretches inspired by yoga.
At Le Mont Anis spa, this dynamic treatment perfectly complements more enveloping rituals, such as our exfoliating body scrub , which prepares the skin before a deeper massage.
Nestled in the heart of a premium spa in Puy-en-Velay, the establishment offers a confidential interlude where the body regains mobility and lightness.
What is traditional Thai massage?
Thai massage, or Nuad Bo Rarn, has its roots in traditional Southeast Asian medicine. It aims to circulate energy along invisible lines called Sen lines.
The practitioner uses her hands, thumbs, and sometimes forearms to apply rhythmic pressure. The recipient remains clothed in comfortable clothing, lying comfortably on a mat on the floor.
In our high-end spa , this treatment is adapted to each body type to remain gentle and respectful of the body.
The benefits on the body and energy
Thai massage loosens joints, releases muscle tension, and improves range of motion. Many leave with a feeling of greater flexibility.
Beyond the physical aspect, this relaxing massage invites mental relaxation and profound calm.
This is one of the treatments that our premium establishment favors to regain energy and vitality after a period of fatigue.
The course of treatment at Mont Anis
The treatment begins with a period of welcome and listening to understand your expectations and any sensitive areas. The practitioner then adjusts the intensity of her work.
The session progresses from the feet to the upper body, alternating between pressure and stretching. The slow pace promotes deep and calm breathing.
A moment of rest concludes the treatment, allowing the benefits to gently spread before resuming the course of the day.
Stretching, pressure, and energy lines
The stretches, similar to certain yoga postures, are performed passively: the practitioner guides the movement. The body allows itself to be supported effortlessly.
Applying pressure along the Sen lines aims to release blockages and restore the flow of energy. The sensation is both invigorating and deeply relaxing.
Thai massage or oil massage
Unlike oil massage, Thai massage is performed fully clothed and engages joint mobility more effectively. It is more dynamic and structured.
Depending on your needs for the day, our high-end spa will guide you towards the most suitable option, from enveloping relaxation to more invigorating work.
A practice adapted to each individual profile
Athletes, sedentary individuals, or simply those curious about well-being find relief from their tension in Thai massage. Each session is personalized.
In cases of particular fragility, the practitioner adapts the stretches and uses gentler pressure. Dialogue remains constant throughout the treatment.
Thai massage for two
Experienced as a couple, this treatment becomes a shared interlude, in the same cabin and at the same pace. An ideal pampering moment to reconnect.
Whether as a couple or with close friends, the experience is extended with a time of shared relaxation in the hushed calm of the spa.

In Haute-Loire, our exceptional spa offers a discreet setting where each treatment is experienced away from the hustle and bustle.
The soft lighting, natural materials, and silence create an atmosphere conducive to letting go. Thai massage takes on its full dimension here.
