Thai Massage And Its Benefits

By Mike Pritsker


Thai massage is quite different from the Western style Swedish massage in that it uses a combination of techniques. The techniques that are used during a Swedish massage focuses on the physical aspects of the body through kneading the muscles, while Thai uses trigger point treatments, neuromuscular therapy, manual therapy and much more.

The purpose of Thai massage is to re-energize the body by focusing on acupressure application along the energy lines of the body to restore energy. The Thai works from the bottom up, in that they begin with your feet and gradually move up to the head. Thai massage uses gentle movements to stretch and loosen the body and release stress that is trapped.

Thai massage is known as a healing art because the massage incorporates yoga stretching, meditation, reflexology and acupressure. Instead of only elbows and hands being utilized in the massage, feet are also used to help really stretch and release tension that is trapped in the body. The benefits of the Thai massage range from physical to psychological health.

Among the different psychological benefits Thai massage has been seen to help reduce overall stress and anxiety, increase one's self control, and help with overall confidence. The body takes one much stress throughout the day and life and Thai massage helps to loosen and relieve any pain and stress. Among the different physical benefits that Thai may bring some are, blood circulation stimulation, muscle relaxation, detoxification of the body and much more.
