Chaan Thai Yoga Massage

Specialties

«Chaan is a hidden gem» (Washingtonian, Feb.2008)

Chaan Thai brings customers several very different qualities and benefits. In the simplest of terms, Thai massage is a combination of yoga stretching, pressure point, deep tissue, and traditional relaxation massage. Chaan’s clients have a wide range of options to select & combine treatments — from the traditional to luxurious heated herbal compress, hot stone and reflexology.

The staff are all highly skilled and trained in their native Thailand — many being graduates of Wat Phở, recognized as the preeminent school for Thai Massage.

Massage is as much about wellness as it is about stress and pain relief. Recognizing this, Chaan has taken into account today’s economic climate and people’s needs to continue to take care of themselves-​offering pricing programs that keep wellness & stress management within everyone’s budgets.

Short of traveling to Thailand, there’s no better Thai Massage & Thai Yoga experience in Metro Washington.
