What it is

What is Thai Oil Massage and what is it for?

Thai massage is an Eastern technique based on manipulation along the body's meridians, with pressure on the points of greatest tension. It helps reduce back pain, leg pain and muscle aches in general.

Thai Oil Massage combines these techniques with the properties of essential oils, to bring relief to body and mind after every treatment. The hand techniques are friction, pressure and gentle stretching positions: that is why it works so well as a draining and knot-releasing massage.

At the same time it is a relaxing massage: thanks to the essential oils it helps you switch off from stress and find the balance between mind and body again.

Choose it if

You want pain relief, drainage and relaxation together

  • You like pressure, stretching and essential oils.
  • You want a massage that loosens and relaxes at the same time.
  • You are not after a single goal (only sport, only the neck, only lymphatic work).

Another treatment is better if

You have one clear goal

Benefits

What are the benefits of Thai Oil Massage?

These are the main benefits of Thai Oil Massage:

Fewer muscle aches

Pressure on the points of greatest tension helps reduce muscle aches, especially in the back and legs.

Better circulation

Friction and pressure encourage circulation in the areas treated.

More toned muscles and skin

The techniques and the oils, 100% pure and organic, help tone the muscles and the skin.

Relaxation

The rhythm of the massage and the essential oils help you relax and find the balance between mind and body again.

Less excess fluid

The draining action of Thai Oil Massage helps the body get rid of excess fluid.

Who it is for

When should you have a Thai Oil Massage? Who is it for?

The depth of the techniques and the essential oil change depending on what you are looking for. Thai Oil Massage is a good choice if:

You have muscle tension or aches

Back pain, tension in the legs or muscle aches in general: pressure along the meridians works on the points of greatest tension.

You want to relax

The massage becomes less deep and is combined with aromatherapy using eucalyptus essential oil. For a treatment devoted entirely to relaxation there is also the Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage.

You have never had a massage

Thai Oil Massage is also recommended for people trying massage for the first time.

You want a complete treatment

Knot-releasing, draining and relaxing all at once: an “A to Z” massage.

Thai Oil and traditional Thai

What is the difference between Thai Oil Massage and traditional Thai massage?

Thai Oil Massage comes from traditional Thai massage, but with some important differences:

Traditional Thai massage

  • it takes place on the floor, on a futon;
  • you receive it fully clothed;
  • no oils are used.

Thai Oil Massage

  • it takes place on the massage table;
  • essential oils are used;
  • the properties of the oils make the treatment more effective.

Which essential oils are used in Thai Oil Massage?

Sweet orange, for tension in the legs

If you have muscle tension in your legs, sweet orange essential oil is added to the knot-releasing techniques; it is credited with pain-relieving and antispasmodic properties, so the effect of the hands and that of the oil add up.

Eucalyptus, to help you relax

If you want to relax, the massage is less deep and uses eucalyptus essential oil, known for its relaxing effect and because it stimulates breathing: a true aromatherapy treatment combined with massage.

Essential oils are natural substances, each with different properties: that is why they are chosen each time according to the person and the goal. At the Crigan Massaggi studio only 100% pure organic oils are used.

The session

How does a Thai Oil Massage session at Crigan Massaggi work?

At your first Thai Oil session Mihail chooses the oils based on what you are looking for: loosening up, draining or switching off. There is pressure and a little stretching on the massage table, not just gliding strokes. Every client is then looked after individually and thoroughly, with the utmost professionalism and discretion. The session has four stages:

  1. 1

    Listening

    Mihail Crigan asks what tension you feel and whether you are mainly looking for muscle relief or relaxation, to choose the depth of the techniques and the essential oil.

  2. 2

    60 minutes on the massage table

    Pressure along the meridians, friction and gentle stretching positions, with 100% pure organic oils and essential oils such as sweet orange or eucalyptus.

  3. 3

    Advice and exercises

    At the end you get advice and stretching exercises to do between sessions.

  4. 4

    Physiotherapist and physiatrist, if needed

    If the complaint needs a closer assessment, a consultation with a physiotherapist and a physiatrist is possible, thanks to the collaboration with Dr Oriano Casamenti of STUDIO RONEFOR.

How often can you have it?

If you have Thai Oil Massage for aches and knots, it is best to leave at least 3 days between sessions, so no more than 2 sessions a week. If you have it to relax, there is no real limit. You will find more answers on the massage FAQ page.

Contraindications

What are the contraindications of Thai Oil Massage?

Thai Oil Massage should be avoided:

  • if you have skin conditions;
  • if you have high blood pressure;
  • if you have inflammation;

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Thai Oil Massage in Turin

How much does a Thai Oil Massage cost at Crigan Massaggi in Turin?

At the Crigan Massaggi studio, Via Monginevro 76/F, Turin, a Thai Oil Massage lasts 60 minutes and costs 60 €, like all the other massages. The length can be agreed with Mihail Crigan to suit your needs. With the pack of 10 massages of your choice, each session costs 50 € instead of 60 €.

Do you keep your clothes on for Thai Oil Massage, as in Thai massage?

No. Traditional Thai massage takes place on the floor on a futon, fully clothed and without oils. The Thai Oil Massage at Crigan Massaggi, on the other hand, takes place on the massage table and uses essential oils, whose properties make the treatment more effective.

Is Thai Oil Massage relaxing or knot-releasing?

It is both, depending on what you need. For muscle tension Mihail Crigan combines knot-releasing techniques with sweet orange oil; to help you relax, the massage is less deep, with eucalyptus oil.

Is Thai Oil Massage suitable if you have never had a massage?

Yes, Thai Oil Massage is recommended both for people who have never had a massage and for those who want a complete treatment, from A to Z. However, it should be avoided in case of skin conditions, high blood pressure, inflammation and during pregnancy: if in doubt, ask your doctor first.

How many Thai Oil Massage sessions do you need?

It depends on the goal and is always assessed case by case. For muscle aches, in Mihail Crigan's experience, about 5 sessions are usually needed for people aged 18 to 40 who play sport and about 10 for people aged 40 to 65, with at least 3 days between sessions. If you have Thai Oil Massage only to relax, there is no real limit on how often.
