Thai Massage
Thai massage is an ancient healing practice that requires a touch more active participation than other types of massage. Thanks to yoga-like stretching elements, Thai massage is sometimes referred to as lazy person's yoga.
Guided by the massage therapist, you are encouraged to manoeuvre your limbs into different positions similar to yoga, in order to benefit from deep muscle compression, joint mobilisation and acupressure. 'Thai massage uses gentle to strong pressure and stretching techniques to relax the whole body,' explains Greene.
Benefits of Thai massage
1. Aids deep relaxation
Thai massage is incredibly relaxing. Stretching techniques combined with the gentle pressure used by the massage therapist relax the whole body.
2. Improved cardiovascular health
Thai massage has been proven to stimulate blood circulation as well as lymph circulation through the use of stretches, which fills the body's tissues with oxygen and promotes healthy cell growth and good heart health.
3. Stress relief
Thai massage significantly reduces levels of a certain stress marker present in the saliva, called sAA. The researchers concluded that Thai massage is more effective at reducing stress in healthy people than just resting.
4. Reduces Stress
The gentle yet firm techniques used in Thai massage encourage a deep sense of relaxation, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. By balancing the body’s energy, it helps you reach a calm and peaceful state of mind, making it an excellent way to unwind after a busy day.
