Massage is a healing technique which has been around for thousands of years and developed independently in many different cultures and countries all over the world. The abundance of health promoting benefits, on a psychological as well as physiological level, explains the continuous success and presence of massage therapy.
Reducing stress, pain, muscle soreness and tension, improving blood & lymph circulation, energy levels and alertness, lowering blood pressure, enhancing immune function and of course increasing relaxation are only a few of the positive effects of a massage treatment.
Thai Massage
Unlike in other massage modalities, the client remains fully dressed, preferably in loose cotton clothing such as t-shirt and sweat pants. The client lies on a mat on the floor and relaxes while the therapist rocks, pulls and stretches the client's body and administers rhythmic compression to the muscles. Because the therapist guides the client's body through a series of stretches that are similar to the shapes of postures one would find oneself in a yoga session, Thai Massage is often referred to as "yoga for the lazy man/woman".
Thai Foot Massage
Working with similar principles as reflexology Thai Foot Massage covers the feet and lower legs. A combination of fluid stroking movements, ankle manipulation & pressure application with hands, fingers, knuckles and a rounded wooden Thai Foot Massage stick help to release tension in the body, increase joint mobility and promote relaxation. It is said to stimulate specific organs by applying pressure to the corresponding reflex points which has a detoxifying effect on both body and mind.
