A Thai massage offers many benefits to the recipient* that can be physical, mental and emotional. Thai massage can offer a welcome relief from injuries and conditions such as sciatica, back pain, tennis elbow, arthritis, whiplash pain and headaches or migraines.
Physical responses and benefits to Thai massage are numerous and diverse. One of the main results and purposes of Thai massage is to relieve muscles. Exercise and over use can cause muscles to become tight, tense and shortened. Thai massage, like yoga, strengthens, gently stretches and relaxes the muscles to their original position; obviously this occurs as a result of regular treatment, rather than one session. This action helps to relieve muscle pain and tension. The benefit of Thai massage over yoga is that the practitioner guides you into suitable postures and poses so there is little danger of doing harm by holding or forcing the wrong position. This also helps to improve posture, joint mobility, body alignment and general flexibility.
Thai massage also improves circulation, thereby making you feel more active and less lethargic; the treatment can also help lower blood pressure as a result. In addition to the benefits to the circulatory system and muscles, other physical benefits include a detoxification and purifying of the body, in conjunction with an increased ability to absorb nutrition. This occurs as a result of the Sip-Sen, energy lines around the body that can become blocked and obstructed. Thai massage helps to clear these blockages and restore balance to the body. The immune system is strengthened, resulting in a slow down of the aging process and more protection against illnesses and diseases.
Another physical benefit is that the muscles and joints are generally much stronger, and this can improve athletic performance, and breathing.
The mental benefits of Thai massage are equally important. Immediately after a session it is likely that the recipient will feel relaxed and revitalised. It can help to achieve a meditative state and reconnect the body and mind. Many recipients experience an increased or heightened awareness of their bodies and surroundings. This deep relaxation can help improve sleeping patterns but will also benefit concentration and mental performance.
Emotional benefits of Thai massage include the release from stress, the ability to concentrate and focus, and from the sense of internal power and balance between the body, mind and spirit that Thai massage achieves. The underlying peace and harmony improves health and general well being and allows for discipline and self control of the mind and body.
Thai massage, therefore, has extensive benefits for the recipient, which can greatly affect and improve health, emotional well being, and mental strength, as well as alleviating pain and injury. This mostly occurs through the internal balance of the mind and the body, and the unity of the two parts to create a healthy, happy whole.
