Relaxation oil massage
~ one and a half hours ~
With Thai herbal oils. A smooth, strong,
full-body massage with particular focus on the back,
neck and shoulders. As its name implies, a relaxation
massage at Tamarind Retreat is less energetic than
a traditional Thai massage. Combining Swedish and
soft tissue techniques, it works those areas of your
body which carry the most stress - the neck, shoulders,
and back. Choose from one of our many Thai herbal
or aromatherapy oils, each with its own special healing
qualities.
See 'Sheer
Indulgence' or 'Divine
Decadence' for package suggestions.

Tamarind Thai massage
~ two hours~
The Thai master who has trained all our masseuses
for Traditional Thai massage has taught us a technique
that employs slow strong movements and acupressure,
with some gentle stretches, energizing and invigorating
the body as wells as realigning the
energy pathways of the body. A good Thai massage
is best enjoyed as a regular practice and can be uncomfortable
if you are not limber.
A Thai massage is best enjoyed for
at least two hours, giving the therapist time to
work the whole body.
Some people prefer more time, especially
if one likes more attention on the neck & shoulders,
an area usually not usually addressed in a shorter
Thai massage. For this we recommend our 2.5
hour Thai for
two massage in our private salas for couples.

Professional
responsible world class massage is our focus at Tamarind
Springs. All our massage therapists are rigorously
screened and trained by qualified teachers. We do not
believe that massage should be painful or uncomfortable
to be effective.
