What's the best massage for skiers and other active individuals? We think it's a Thai massage. At our hip, Asian-infused day spa, Thai massage is one of our cornerstone offerings. You can see a Thai massage video at the bottom of this page.
Here's how Thai massage is different.
- Your massage therapist works with you on a comfortable padded mat on the floor, not a massage table.
- Thai massage involves both acupressure and a lot of stretching. For skiers and weekend warriors, this really helps.
- You wear comfortable, loose clothing and no oil is used during the massage. We provide clothes you can change into.
- Your specially-trained therapist will work with you through over 100 different sequences done in a special order.
- You actively participate in this massage on certain stretches. See the photos where the massage therapist and the guest are holding wrists and arms.
- Your Steamboat massage therapist uses her hands, knees, legs a
nd feet in a series of yoga type stretches and poses.
Thai massage is not for everyone. You should be in reasonably good health be somewehat flexible.
A Thai massage could mean the difference between taking a day or two off from your expensive lift ticket, or getting back on the mountain sooner.
Thai massage has been around for over 1,000 years. Originally brought to Thailand by a physician to Buddha, Thai massage is a main component of wellness in the Far East.
You can choose from a 90-minute or two-hour Thai massage, depending on your level of soreness.
The cost for our Signature Thai massage is as follows:
