What’s involved and who benefits
No oils are used in Thai massage. Therefore, you can wear loose clothing while you lie on a comfortable mat. It is a relaxing experience that can take either one or two hours. It is ideal for many conditions – and just as suitable for men, women or children. It is gentle enough for the elderly, but is still highly effective for sports enthusiasts, students of Yoga, martial artists – and will come as a welcome alternative to people who have tried other forms of massage.
- Gentle rhythmic pressure relaxes the nervous system and allows the muscles to soften
- Special stretches interspersed within the massage improve flexibility
- Muscles and the connective tissue, surrounding the muscle fibres gain greater resting length
- This reduces muscle soreness
- It also increases the range and motion of joints
- Nerves, tissues and organs are also strengthened. So, too, is the circulation of energy around the body
A wise choice for those who prefer a more natural approach to remaining well
Thai Yoga massage treats the whole body. This is particularly important because the body always gives a true reflection of inner states of mind and emotion.
So, while Thai Yoga massage will deal effectively with sports injuries it is able to significantly improve spinal and postural related problems. This holistic approach to bodywork creates a feeling of well being as a greater overall state of balance is achieved.
