With a successful El Cajon location that opened about five years ago, Thai Style Massage has made Pacific Beach their next home.
“Pacific Beach is very nice, and even more importantly, it has nice people. Everyone is always smiling, and with the view of the ocean, we loved PB and wanted to be a part of the community,” says Tiffany, an employee, who’s helping with the business’ grand opening.
While many residents may be used to seeing Thai massage spots around the neighborhood, not many truly know the history, benefits, or techniques behind it. This lack of knowledge is something Thai Style Massage wants to change.
Originating in India 2,500 years ago, the Thai massage technique is known as a sacred form of body work. The technique aids in releasing tension and discomfort connected to stress on the mind and body.
Thai massage stimulates the flow of the lymphatic system, and increases circulation. This allows the body to pump more nutrients and oxygen into tissues and important organs. It helps to rejuvenate overused and tired muscles as well.
The practice also helps increase flexibility, as stretching is a part of the tradition. Rhythmic, firm pressing on pressure points makes the Thai massage a more rigorous style of body therapy.
For customers who want a more relaxing, rather than intense, massage, don’t fret. “We also offer Swedish massages, which is for the customers who simply want to relax and decompress,” Tiffany says.
However, their most popular massage is the “Combination.” This service combines Thai and Swedish styles. It helps customers feel more balanced by incorporating acupressure, passive yoga therapy, and reflexology. The kneading in this service can range from soft to deep – whichever the customer prefers. The Combination massage incorporates essential oils and lotions, unlike the strictly traditional Thai massage. Thai Style Massage Where:?1350 Garnet Ave. Hours:?10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily.
