Yoga-inspired assisted stretching that opens tight shoulders and hips, improves mobility, and leaves your whole body feeling longer and lighter.
Thai yoga massage blends massage with gentle, assisted stretching. Instead of doing the stretches yourself, your therapist guides your body through yoga-inspired movements, using their hands, body weight, and slow, rhythmic motion to open areas that are hard to release on your own.
Traditional Thai massage is known for full-body stretching. The Angels Touch style is more flowing and yoga-based, focusing on specific joints and areas where you need more freedom of movement.
At Angels Touch Professional Massage in Downtown Boise, Thai yoga work focuses on targeted stretching of key areas like the rotator cuff and the hip joint. These are two of the most common places people lose mobility from sitting, desk work, lifting, running, and everyday stress.
Each stretch is slow and supported, and it is never forced. Shanda brings over 25 years of professional massage experience and adjusts every movement to your body's range and comfort, so you can relax into the stretch instead of bracing against it.
Thai yoga massage is a great fit if you feel stiff or restricted, especially in your shoulders or hips. It's popular with runners, hikers, cyclists, lifters, and yoga lovers, as well as anyone who sits for long hours and wants to move more easily. If you like the feeling of a good stretch but have trouble getting deep into it on your own, this session is for you.
We'll start by talking about where you feel tight and what movements feel limited. From there, your session combines massage with guided stretches for the shoulders, hips, and surrounding muscles. We'll check in about comfort as we go, and you can always ask for a gentler or deeper stretch. Most clients leave feeling looser, taller, and more mobile.
With an 80-minute session, you can add Hot Stone, Reflexology, Gua Sha, Aromatherapy, or Dry Brushing at no extra cost. Just ask when you book.
