Thai-Euro Massage (Swedish Massage)

Thai-Euro Massage (Swedish Massage) at Origins Thai Spa: long, gliding Swedish strokes with oils. Ideal for first-timers. This massage is considered to be a “classic” massage wherein a combination of special oils and creams are used in conjunction with traditional Swedish massage therapy techniques to provide the ultimate soothing experience. Swedish massage is known for its proven health benefits such as improving poor circulation, reducing stress, reducing muscle pain and improving joint stiffness. Long, slow gliding strokes applied in the direction of the blood flowing towards the heart are used in this method to manipulate pressure throughout the entire body and have been noted to reduce blood pressure.

Yes. Online booking is our preferred method, and you’ll receive an email or phone call to confirm. A credit card is required to secure all appointments.

Should I tip my massage therapist?

Gratuities are not required but are greatly appreciated; 15–20% of the service price is typical. Tips can be left in cash or by personal check. We can’t add gratuities to a credit card.
