A bit of history
Galway Thai Massage was established to bring authentic Thai healing traditions to the west of Ireland. The practice of Thai massage dates back over 2,500 years to India, later evolving in Thailand as a blend of acupressure, yoga, and Ayurvedic principles.
Common questions
Do I need to remove all my clothes for Thai massage?
No, for traditional Thai massage you remain fully clothed in loose, comfortable garments provided by the studio. Oil massages require partial undressing, but you are covered with towels.
Is Thai massage painful?
It can be intense, especially during deep stretches, but the therapist will adjust pressure to your comfort level. Communicate any discomfort.
Can I get a massage if I am pregnant?
Yes, but please inform them when booking so they can assign a therapist trained in prenatal massage.
What should I do if I have a medical condition?
Consult your doctor first and inform the therapist about any injuries, allergies, or conditions during the health consultation.
How often should I get a Thai massage?
For general wellness, once a month is beneficial. For specific issues, weekly sessions may be recommended.
Do they accept walk-ins?
Walk-ins are welcome if time permits, but booking ahead is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.
