Culture Fusion – Swe Thai ia a completely y innovative massage you can find at Ecologic Natural Spa in Mallorca.

Traditional Thai Massage is a unique method of passive bodywork that incorporates yoga, accupressure and reflexology techniques. Its origins are dated back 2500 years and its roots are traced back to the founder of the practice, Shivaga Komarpaj, known as "father doctor".

Passed on from parents to children for hundreds of generations, it was applied as a method to alleviate aching muscles and body tension caused by intense agricultural work. Each region in Thailand developed its own massage style and this, along with the influences of other countries such as China, India or Tibet, collaborated in the creation and evolution of this modality as we know it today.

Thai Massage is practiced on the floor, dressed with light clothing and without the need of using oils or creams. It involves methods of cure, meditation, stretching and relaxation and, as well hands, the therapist uses other parts of the body such as feet, forearms, elbows and knees, to relieve tension.

Swe-Thai is a completely innovative massage that combines the tradition and spiritualism of the oriental world, with soft tissue techniques more common to the western world.
Its name, Swe-Thai, originates from the fusion of the Swedish Massage (what we classify as a classical massage with traditional techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, etc.) with Thai Massage.

Created by Margie Meshew, one of the few North Americans certified by the Thai Masters, Swe-Thai is an exclusive modality, approved in Thailand and to date, unknown in our country.
The concept was created with the idea of combining the best of two completely opposite massages, allowing both the therapist and the client to benefit simultaneously from a re-energizing therapy as well as from a fluid, soft tissue massage such as the Swedish massage.

As in Thai massage, Swe-Thai includes yoga movements and stretches, Zen line work (energy channels), and accupressure points are treated. However, unlike the Thai technique, this new method is practiced on a massage table (not on the floor), oils or creams are used to lubricate the body, and effleurage and petrissage movements from the Swedish massage are introduced to help prepare the
muscles and relax the body.
Margie Meshew, who travels regularly to Thailand, created this modality so her clients could enjoy and benefit from a Thai massage, without the need to sacrifice the pleasure and custom of a classical massage, as the western concept is completely different to the oriental philosophy, which is not always easy to accept and understand in our society.

With the final approval and certification given by her teachers in Thailand (something not easy to obtain), Margie is now a respected a renown authority in the Thai and Swe-Thai massage field. With over 10 years experience, she is a teacher awarded for her excellent educational and work methods, as well her contribution to the creation of an innovative and original technique.
