If you have never experienced it before, you are probably wondering what Thai Massage Edmonton is and what makes it so special? Perhaps you have searched Thai Massage Edmonton and found only a few massage therapy clinics or individuals who offer this service who are ironically not from Thailand. Perhaps you once took a trip to Thailand where you were blown away by a totally unique form of massage therapy that not only left you relaxed, but feeling like you could touch your toes comfortably again without that tweak in your your back! Well, it’s your lucky day because Alberta Momentum Massage Therapy has brought home a little piece of Thailand for you in the form of the best Traditional Thai Massage Edmonton has to offer, and her name is RMT Jel.
Jel Rasri ( Thai Massage Therapist)
With 2200 hours of registered massage therapy training in Canada, as well as 12 years of Thai Massage experience in her native country of Thailand, RMT Jel Rasri came to Canada, Edmonton, and to Alberta Momentum Massage as a true gift to everyone.
When you come in for your first Edmonton Thai Massage, the first thing you might notice is that Jel’s treatment room may look a little different than your last RMT massage. On the floor there is a dense yet comfortable gymnastic grade floor mat which RMT Jel tastefully drapes with clean linens and a few Thai tapestries. Before your treatment, our staff will remind you to bring your gym clothes with you, or any comfortable clothing you feel would allow you to move freely and comfortably. A tee-shirt and sweat pants work wonderfully.
Edmonton Thai Massage Therapist
Your traditional Thai Massage treatment begins here! You will be asked to remove your footwear and socks (unless you prefer to keep them on) so that Jel may use a warm steamed towel and Japanese mint oil to clean and disinfect your feet while you lay face up on the Thai mat and begin to relax. Using slow deep pressure applied to key trigger point areas and meridian lines, Jel applies pressure using her hands, elbows, knees, and feet. While maintaining steady pressure, Edmonton Thai Massage Therapist Jel then manipulates your limbs and body into various stretching poses using yoga like gentle movements. If you have ever seen pictures of Thai Massage stretches it’s quite surprising, but don’t be fooled by photos because the treatment itself feels far different than the treatment looks in photos. You might think “It looks like work”! Quite on the contrary, Thai massage requires the client to remain completely still with all muscles relaxed, so all of the Thai Stretch photos you see are actually completely supported by the therapist’s body while leaving the client relaxed and feeling like mush! In essence, Thai Massage closely resembles active release therapy, so if you have ever experienced ART, you will love Thai Massage!
Though longer treatments are always recommended with Thai massage, we offer time frames from 60 minutes to 2.5 hours. Believe me, even if it sounds like a long time to relax, you will thank yourself (and Jel) over and over again because you will receive all of the benefits of regular therapeutic massage therapy with the added bonus of a full range of motion stretch built in. Thai Massage is its own form of active release therapy.
If you are a returning fan Edmonton Thai Massage, or our thai massage therapist Jel has invited you back to the clinic to sample her home made Thai food (which she often does), we encourage you to give it a try and see for yourself why Alberta Momentum is so lucky to have RMT Jel at the clinic. She is a gifted therapist, and a sweet soul who gives everything to her art form, Thai Massage.
