Thai Massage techniques involving Yoga, Shiatsu, Mobility Movements, Acupressure and Foot Reflexology techniques.
Traditional Thai Massage is usually carried out on the floor with the client fully clothed, and without the use of carrier oils. Thai Table Massage is an adaptation of this treatment that can be carried out on a normal portable massage table. The combination of stretching and compression helps to lengthen tight muscles and relieve pressure that you may have not even realised that you were holding.
In the Northern regions of Thailand the emphasis in Traditional Thai Massage is on stretching. By contrast in the Southern regions of Thailand the emphasis in Traditional Thai Massage is on acupressure. Thai Table Massage will incorporate both of these styles. The combination of the techniques made it suitable for use on a table.
Stretching helps to lengthen muscles over time, leading to increased flexibility and a wilder range of movement. Through stretching, the circulation of the fluid in the joint can move more freely, lessening friction between them.
After Thai massage treatment the musculoskeletal pain is often eased, and the therapy can also impact neuropathic pain and other chronic conditions. Through improved flexibility you will be able to realign your body, resulting in improvements to your posture.
The sessions are very relaxing and result in a big serotonin release. These massages could be a great remedy if you find it difficult to maintain a healthy sleep pattern, and it also allows the mind to relax, relieving us of our underlying stress, symptoms of depression and anxiety. When serotonin is at normal levels, you feel more focused, emotionally stable, happier and calmer.
Thai massage is generally safe, but not suited for everyone. Anyone dealing with the following conditions should avoid Thai massage:
Unmedicated high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and cardiovascular problems, history with blood clots or varicose veins, osteoporosis, arthritis or joint replacement, cancer, early-stage MS or Parkinson’s disease, during menstruation or pregnancy.
Thai Foot and Leg Massage is a therapeutic technique that originated in Thailand around 2000 years ago, incorporating elements of Shiatsu, Chinese massage, and Yoga. This 30-minute session offers a revitalising combination of traditional massage techniques, including gentle stretching, acupressure, and soothing foot manipulation. They may also use specialised tools to enhance the experience. Focused on the feet and legs, the treatment stimulates circulation, relieves tension, and restores balance to the body.
Specific techniques such as thumb pressure on the soles, gentle rocking and tapping, rhythmic compression help to release tightness in feet and the lower legs, and also promote deep relaxation. Ideal for those who spend long hours on their feet or are seeking relief from leg fatigue, this treatment will leave you feeling refreshed, energised, and deeply relaxed.
