Thai Massage in Ebisu

An explanation of traditional Thai massage

In Thai massage, the conduits for the internal flow of energy, known as ‘sen,’ are stimulated thoroughly over the entire body. It is said that there are over 72,000 ‘sen’ in the human body. Of these, 10 major ‘sen’ serve as guiding channels for this therapeutic massage.

By seeking out artificial blockages of ‘sen’ caused by the physical and emotional rigors of everyday life, then slowly loosening them, the body’s energy flow can be restored to its original state.

While many people assume that Thai massage involves a kind of acrobatics, please don’t worry about overstretching, as our approach ensures that our masseurs push no further than your body’s natural range will allow. Also bear in mind that Thai massage is not solely meant as treatment for physically active people, but also for inflexible individuals, such as the physically unfit, the deskbound office worker, and people in their 40’s and 50’s. We strive to help you relieve the stress and tightness natural to your level of physical activity and flexibility.

Herb Ball (Samunpurai)
This is a treatment using medicinal herbs found in traditional Thai medicine. First, the entire body is relaxed with a full body massage. Then, the massage continues as ball of steamed hokahoka herbs is pressed and rolled over the body. The heat of the herb ball penetrates to parts of the body, such as joints and bones, which would normally be difficult to reach. This is considered one of our most relaxing courses, and is especially effective in treating chills, joint pain, insomnia, and constipation, all while relieving those pressing worries so difficult to assuage.

• Available for an additional 2100 yen on any courses.
• Customers are free to take the herb ball home. Customers who then return with the herb ball for their next treatment are exempted from paying its 1050 yen cost.
