What to Expect in Your First Thai Massage Session at Real Thai
Relax. Breathe. You’re in Good Hands.
Trying something new especially something as personal as a massage can feel a little intimidating. You might be asking:
“Will it hurt?”
“Do I need to undress?”- “What actually happens during a Thai Massage?”
At Real Thai, we understand. That’s why we’ve created a calm, caring environment where you’ll feel completely supported, informed, and in control from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re new to massage altogether or just new to the Thai style, this guide will help you feel fully prepared for your first session.
What Makes Real Thai Different
We don’t just “do” massage we practice the art of healing, passed down through centuries of Thai tradition. Every session is designed to help your body release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with itself.
You’ll walk out not just relaxed but recharged, realigned, and at peace.
Getting Started: Before Your Session
When you arrive at Real Thai, you’ll be warmly welcomed by our front desk team. If it’s your first visit, we’ll ask a few quick questions about your:
Health history
Areas of pain or tightness
Wellness goals
This helps your therapist personalize the experience just for you. You’ll then be shown to a peaceful changing area where you’ll change into loose, comfortable clothes (either provided by us or your own gym/yoga wear).
No oils. No undressing. You’ll remain fully clothed throughout the session.
During the Massage: What You’ll Experience
Your massage takes place on a soft mat on the floor a signature of traditional Thai therapy. The therapist begins with slow, rhythmic palm presses, almost like a calming wave washing over your body.
Then the magic unfolds. You’ll be guided through a series of assisted stretches, acupressure points, and gentle joint mobilization. It might feel like a cross between yoga and deep tissue massage but you don’t have to do anything. Just breathe and allow your body to be moved.
Your therapist will adjust pressure and intensity based on your comfort level. It’s a collaborative experience you’re encouraged to speak up at any time.
After the Massage: A New You
Once your session ends, don’t rush. Take a moment to notice how your body feels:
Looser hips
Lighter shoulders- A clearer, quieter mind
Most clients describe it as a “whole body reset.” You may feel slightly light-headed, deeply calm, or even energized everyone responds differently.
We recommend:
Drinking water to support detox
Avoiding intense workouts for a few hours
Taking a quiet moment for yourself
