You will remain fully clothed for a Thai massage, so you should wear clothing that is comfortable and can stretch easily.

The therapist uses their hands (thumbs, elbows, forearms) and sometimes, even their feet to reduce tension in the muscles. The massage does not use oils or lotions. The therapist will move the person's body into yoga-like positions (assisted yoga) in addition to pulling and rocking the body in various other ways.

Some people prefer to keep their underwear on during the treatment, which is totally fine. If you're wearing a bra, it would probably be beneficial to remove this so the therapist can work on your back properly. You will always be sufficiently covered with a blanket or large towel at all times for your comfort.

To increase the flow of energy along the sens, the practitioner will move your body into yoga-like positions in addition to pulling and rocking your body in various ways. The combination of stretching, movement, and pressure is what distinguishes Thai massage from other types of massage.
