Benefits of Thai Massage
Thai massage is a form of healing art that facilitates deep relaxation by wiping away stress and tension throughout the whole body. It has gained wide popularity in the West thanks to a unique and graceful style.
Thai massage differs from traditional western forms of massage in numerous ways Thai massage doesn't require oils or creams; it is performed on a comfortable floor mat (as opposed to a table); the client remains clothed in light breathable garments; the practitioner incorporates not only hands, but also knees, feet, toes, and elbows; and the massage blends stretching, rocking, point pressure, and kneading techniques that eliminate stiffness, tension, and over-exertion due to work, sports, chronic arthritis, or other debilitating diseases.
This style of massage was created between 800-1200 AD and was influenced by multiple disciplines, including Theravada Buddhism, Ayurveda, Hatha Yoga, understanding of Chinese meridians and indigenous practices of Tai people.
By combining the cream of the crop of these practices, Thai massage offers deep relaxation of sore muscles, enhancement of strength and flexibility, recapture of lost range of motion, and improvement of lymphatic function. This traditional massage can also detoxify the body, reinforce the immune system, and keep injuries at bay by promoting flexibility.
This massage provides greatest benefits to people who are actively involved in sports, perform straining physical activities at work, or suffer from chronic migraines and anxiety. The practitioner customizes each performance to address all areas of concern, so that the client can receive long term benefits from this massage treatment.
Smoothly choreographed performance, flowing manipulations, and fluid rhythm make this practice not only a great therapeutic tool, but also an enjoyable spectacle.
