Everyone should experience a Thai yoga massage at least once in their life. Here are 4 reason why you NEED to try Thai yoga massage…
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON
For those of us that don't feel 100% comfortable at the idea of getting your kit off in front of a stranger, this is a plus. Really – there's not a paper knicker in sight. Just make sure you wear something lightweight and stretchy, as it'll maximise the therapeutic benefits.
IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT THE MASSAGE
Rather than squeezing, pummelling and digging thumbs, knuckles and elbows into the muscles to release tension like a sports massage would, Thai yoga massage works to release tension in the muscles by taking the body through a series of passive stretches and achieving space and movement in your muscles and joints that cannot be achieved in any other way, and just feels AMAZING!
IT’S LIKE SOMEONE ELSE DOING YOGA FOR YOU
As your therapist takes you through a range of movements, it can feel like someone performing yoga on you – but with no effort on your part. Genius. Fabulous for anyone who involved in sport, who may neglect their cool down stretches and really needs to work on their flexibility.
YOUR MIND - AND BODY - WILL THANK YOU
The aim of Thai yoga massage is to harmonise the flow of Qi (said chi or ch-ee) through your body. For the uninitiated, that’s your vital energy. It’s why this type of bodywork is so good for you when you’re not feeling on point. It can soothe physical complaints like indigestion, headaches and PMS & and it's also a good match for emotional issues like stress and fatigue. It will totally feel like you are walking on air as you leave the treatment room.
