Thai Massage combines stretching, pulling, and acupressure designed to help warm up the body and relieve stress. It has been found to help improve mood, anxiety, tension, and even confusion or bewilderment.
What Does Thai Massage Help With?
Thai Massage can help alleviate a lot of different symptoms. It is best known for relieving stress and tension in your joints. It can also help with headaches, can help boost energy, stimulate circulation, and generally improve range of motion.
Thai Massage is fully clothed and involves a series of stretches and compression. Your therapist will use their body weight to help stretch and pull you during your massage, therefore, you will need to wear clean, comfortable loose fitting work-out clothes to your session.
Thai Massage is different from general massage because your therapist is using a series of compression and stretching techniques to assist with your range of motion. Because of this, Thai Massage is often referred to as "Lazy Man's Yoga."
