Therapeutic Thai massage to ease muscle and ligament tension
With influences from Chinese and SE Asian medicine and Indian, traditional Thai massage is a popular form of massage that offers many benefits for those who receive it. The traditional Thai massage therapist employs hands, elbows and even feet to apply deep muscle massage combined with gentle yoga-like stretches to help release tight and knotted areas, and to stimulate circulation.
The traditional Thai massage is performed fully clothed (no oils are used) on a mat on the floor. The traditional Thai massage technique involves putting gentle but firm pressure on the body with the palms and thumbs, as well as relaxing stretching of the limbs and back. In this way it works effectively on skin, muscle, the organs and the skeletal structure. Blood and lymph circulation is increased and waste substances are removed from tissues.
