Thai Yoga Massage

Thai yoga massage is different to most other forms of massage. The treatment is carried out on a comfortable floor mat and you remain fully clothed throughout. It is applied using hands, feet, forearms and elbows in a flowing series of moves to help free the tension trapped within the body. Energy lines, acupressure points, muscles, ligaments and joints are stretched and opened, stimulating flow and encouraging more freedom of movement.

Although the massage is very physical, the overall objective is to bring balance and harmony to the “energetic” body and mind of the receiver as well as the physical body. It is usually given in silence, allowing me to tune in fully to your needs.

Often called ‘yoga for lazy people’, Thai massage is the ultimate lazy way of getting all the benefits of yoga and more without having to do it yourself.

Benefits

Regular Thai massage treatments can relieve general stiffness and reverse the loss of flexibility that is often regarded as the inevitable result of the ageing process – making you feel younger and more energized.

It can relieve tense, tight muscles that are the result of overworking them (e.g. in sport or physical activity such as heavy gardening) or the result of not using them enough (often as a result from long hours sitting at a desk or driving).

Thai massage can bring relief from aches, pains and stiffness, particularly in any tight joints - knees, ankles, wrists, hips, shoulders and neck. It can also relieve chronic tension such as back pain and some type of headaches.

It stretches muscles and manipulates joints just a little more than if you attempted the same moves unaided. This gives the benefit of increasing your flexibility, suppleness and range of movement. It also helps to restore balance within and between the major muscle groups, easing pain and improving posture, thus helping to prevent injury.

In addition it can…
- relieve stress and give you time for yourself
- increase your sense of well-being
