Benefits of doing a massage

Thai Massage is an interactive manipulation of the body using passive stretching and gentle pressure along energy lines. These movements help us to

• Adjust the skeletal structure.
• Increase flexibility - relieve muscular and joint tension.
• Stimulate internal organs.
• Balance the body's energy system.

The effect is uniquely relaxing as well as energizing. Receiving a Thai massage is a bit like doing yoga without putting forth any effort while also getting acupressure treatments! With these techniques, applied in a quietly meditative atmosphere, space is created in the muscoskeletal structure, the body begins to open and regain flexibility and ease of movement, while the mind gently returns to calm alertness. Tension and toxic material is released from the joints, muscles, and connective tissue. The energy body, as well as the internal organs, are stimulated by pressure on peripheral reflex points.

Thai Massage displays an inherent knowledge of the inner workings of the body, a knowledge that developed over centuries of practice. There is something in the essence of this work that appeals to a wide range of people on a core level; something that satisfies their physical and emotional needs, and perhaps even assists in their spiritual needs.
