How the technique is performed
Thai Massage at Elite Spa is practiced in line with guidelines from the Ministry of Health of Thailand. Therapists use a sequence of pressure applications with thumbs, hands, and feet along traditional meridian lines. The method focuses on rhythmic, targeted pressure to encourage energy movement rather than relying on oils or passive modalities.
A 90-minute session gives therapists time to work methodically through major meridian lines and areas of tension, using hands and feet to vary contact and intensity. Sessions are practitioner-led and paced to cover more body areas than shorter treatments, allowing more time for deliberate transitions between techniques.
What the session includes
If you’d like to request a specific person please add their name in the notes section. Otherwise, we’ll assign a therapist based on our rotation. This service is offered in Northridge for a single session length of exactly 90 minutes and a price of $100, allowing a full therapeutic sequence during your appointment.
Elite Spa’s location near CSUN, the Northridge Fashion Center and the 118 corridor makes this session convenient for students, commuters and families needing flexible timing. Therapists schedule sessions to suit pre- or post-work appointments, and the 90-minute length accommodates clients seeking a more thorough, unhurried experience.
Choosing pressure and pacing
Therapists tailor pressure and pacing to each client's comfort and response. You control intensity through feedback during the session; the therapist adjusts thumb, hand, and foot pressure along meridian lines accordingly. The trade-off is between deeper pressure for targeted release and gentler pacing for broader relaxation, decided together with your guidance.
Because the area serves many commuters and students, therapists are experienced in adapting sessions to common local needs—short windows, variable stiffness from daily routines, and preferences for firmer or lighter work. Communicating your comfort level at the start helps shape the remainder of the full 90-minute appointment.
