Which Massage Should You Choose? Thai Traditional, Remedial, or Aroma Therapy Massage?

If you're looking to book a massage but aren’t sure which style is right for you, don’t worry you're not alone. At Ploythai Massage in Wynnum, we offer a range of massage options to suit different needs. Whether you're chasing deep relief, gentle relaxation, or improved mobility, understanding the difference between Thai massage, remedial massage, and oil relaxation massage can help you make the right choice.

🙆‍♀️ Thai Traditional Massage: For Stretching & Energy Flow

Thai massage is often called "lazy yoga" — and for good reason. This ancient technique combines deep pressure, acupressure, and assisted stretching without the use of oil. You’ll stay fully clothed while the therapist uses hands, elbows, knees, and feet to stretch and compress your muscles.

Best for:

• Improving flexibility

• Boosting circulation and energy

• Easing tension from sitting too long

Perfect if you: Want a full-body treatment that’s energising and restorative.

💆 Remedial Massage: For Pain, Injury & Recovery

Remedial massage is a therapeutic treatment used to address specific musculoskeletal issues. It’s ideal if you’re recovering from injury or dealing with chronic tension, especially in the neck, shoulders, or lower back.

At Ploythai Massage, our qualified remedial therapists will assess your condition and create a tailored plan to treat the underlying cause.

Best for:

• Muscle tightness or injury

• Chronic pain or stiffness

• Sciatica, headaches, or posture-related issues

🌿 Aroma Therapy Massage: For Stress & Calm

Sometimes, you just need to unwind. Our oil relaxation massage uses flowing, gentle strokes to promote deep relaxation and improve circulation. It’s not about deep tissue pressure, but about calming the nervous system and promoting a sense of peace.

Best for:

• Reducing stress and anxiety

• Improving sleep

• Gentle muscle relief without intensity

Perfect if you: Want to de-stress or treat yourself to some self-care.
