When most people think about getting a massage, they picture themselves lying face down and half covered by blanket as a masseuse uses their hands to knead tight back muscles. A Thai yoga massage, however, is a completely difference experience and just as beneficial. While performed a bit differently, Thai yoga massages use yoga poses to work the body in various ways and stretch the muscles.
Thai Yoga Massage
This type of massage is usually performed on the floor as a massage therapist guides and manipulates your body into different yoga poses. Your body is stretched in various ways as the therapist uses their hands, elbows, thumbs, knees, legs, and feet to knead your muscles. Mild or firm touch techniques are often applied for muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure to create a customized healing experience. You remain fully clothed for Thai yoga massages.
What Are The Benefits Of Thai Yoga Massage?
There are many benefits of Thai yoga massage, some of them including stress reduction, improved circulation, increased energy, increased flexibility, and improved range of motion. In addition, Thai massage is very calming and helps to center the mind and body. This type of massage is also a common way for some people to deal with chronic pain (often in their back). It helps to relax the muscles and relieve ongoing stiffness.
