Thai Massage
Heralded for centuries in the East for its energizing and restorative effects, Thai massage is gaining popularity in the West as people discover this unique and powerful form of massage. Sometimes called “assisted yoga,” Thai massage involves easing the client into various assisted stretches to deepen muscle relaxation. Vigorous and stimulating, Thai massage is as energizing as it is relaxing.
Unique Benefits of Thai Massage
Thai massage is performed on a padded mat on the floor, and the client remains fully dressed, preferably in comfortable clothing that permits free movement of the limbs. Unlike other forms of massage, no oils are used during Thai massage. Instead, the body is carefully manipulated into deeply relaxing stretches and poses by a trained massage therapist. The therapist engages the use of hands, knees, feet, and body weight to vigorously stretch and deeply soothe muscles with specific poses designed to effectively relax and work out the kinks in tense muscles. The result is deep relaxation, renewed energy, and an overall heightened sense of well-being.
As with most forms of massage, Thai massage promotes relaxation and eases stress, but this type of massage therapy is unique in its ability to increase flexibility and range of motion, as well as improve overall circulation. Many clients report that Thai massage helps them feel emotionally and mentally centered, as well as rejuvenated and relaxed. The combination of physical manipulation and the absence of oils allows for a unique experience that enhances both physical and mental health, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a holistic approach to well-being.
