Thai Massage

Traditional Thai massage at Carlsbad Clinic, offered in durations from 30 to 120 minutes. Performed on a mat with the recipient clothed, it combines acupressure, assisted stretching and rhythmic compression along the body's energy lines, which is associated with releasing muscular tension, improving flexibility and leaving you energised rather than drowsy. It is a popular relaxation and mobility option within the clinic's broader massage and wellness menu during a spa stay.

Thai massage at Carlsbad Clinic is the traditional, fully clothed form of bodywork performed on a comfortable mat rather than an oiled table, available in five durations so guests can choose the depth of session they want: 30 minutes (1,300 Kč), 45 minutes (1,800 Kč), 60 minutes (2,300 Kč), 90 minutes (3,200 Kč) and 120 minutes (4,100 Kč), with the longer sessions offering better value per minute. The technique blends firm rhythmic compression, acupressure along the body's energy lines (sen), and assisted yoga-like stretching in which the therapist gently moves your limbs through a range of positions. This combination is associated with releasing deep muscular tension, improving flexibility and joint mobility, stimulating circulation and producing an energising rather than sedating effect, which is why many guests choose it earlier in the day or to loosen up before active treatments. It suits visitors with general muscular tightness, reduced flexibility and stress, and complements the clinic's physiotherapy and cryotherapy by keeping soft tissue supple between rehabilitation sessions. Because Thai massage involves vigorous stretching and deep pressure, it has contraindications including recent injury or surgery, severe osteoporosis, uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, and pregnancy without a suitable modified protocol, so it is best chosen in line with the clinic's initial medical examination. Preparation is simple: wear or change into loose, comfortable clothing, avoid a heavy meal immediately beforehand, and tell the therapist about any pain or limitations so pressure and stretches can be adjusted. There is no recovery time, though some guests feel pleasantly worked the next day; drinking water afterward is sensible. The therapist tailors the intensity to your tolerance throughout.
