Thai Massage -
with Sandra Heider
What is
Thai Massage?
Traditional Thai
Massage is an ancient health system which has been practised in Thailand for
thousands of years remaining a widely spread healing form until today. It is
a beautifully structured whole-body massage, which uses a combination of
stretching and pressure to achieve a unique and comprehensive holistic
massage. The massage works on on both superficial and deeper fascial layers,
muscles and ligaments, nerves, and on joints and bones, as well as on all
internal organs. Thai massage also balances the flow of energy within the
body leaving you more relaxed and revitalised.
What are
the benefits?
The overall effect of
a Thai Massage is an opening of tight joints and a lengthening of muscles,
combined with a sense of very deep relaxation and well-being. Problem areas
(especially backs) are often considerably improved because the whole body is
treated, rather than concentrating solely on a specific area. Releasing
tight hips, for example, often has an immediate effect on lower back pain.
It can be used as preventative measure against injury, and also brings about
a feeling of balance, well-being and health.
If you practice yoga,
there are some additional benefits. Thai massage gives you the opportunity
to experience yoga postures passively allowing you to "taste" the posture
and internalise the mind/body connection. You are able to learn that many
asanas are more about relaxing muscles than employing them. This often comes
as an insight which is translatable into your own yoga practise.
