What is Thai Yoga Massage?
It is a combination of yoga like stretches, energy work and acupressure. The massage works on energy lines known as SEN to stimulate the flow of energy. Pressure is applied to points along these lines to stimulate or relax the mind and body.
It is unique from many Western forms of massage in that no oil is used and that it is performed over clothes on a mat on the floor. It differs from our traditional perceptions of "massage" and has been described by many as "someone doing yoga on you".
Why have a Thai Yoga Massage?
Thai Yoga Massage is a deep reaching holistic therapy that can provide a multitude of benefits to the individual. It can be used as a form of general relaxation or to treat a specific condition such as knee pain.
The potential benefits
- Re-balances energy systems in the body
- Improves circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Improves joint flexibility and joint protection
- Provides a sense of well-being and relaxation
- Relieve the symptoms of specific chronic conditions e.g., back pain, headaches
