Thai Traditional Massage
What is Thai massage?
This is a traditional Thai medicine that has been passed down since ancient times, and is a slow, rhythmic massage with a highly relaxing effect. By stimulating the energy lines called "sen" that run throughout the body with the fingers, elbows, knees, and soles of the feet, it is possible to revitalize the body and enhance its natural healing powers.
What are the benefits of Thai massage?
The effects of Thai traditional massage are not limited to relieving stiffness and fatigue. The Thai Ministry of Health lists over 60 benefits, including high blood pressure, poor circulation, constipation, menstrual irregularities, and asthma. In addition, as it is performed at a slow rhythm that matches the state of mind, it is also good for mental stability and helps relieve stress. For this reason, in recent years, Thai traditional massage has been adopted as an alternative treatment for illnesses at university hospitals and other facilities.
Helps relieve stress
Modern people are exposed to a lot of stress every day, which is said to affect the onset of lifestyle-related diseases and weaken the immune system. Eye fatigue, halitosis, stomatitis, bronchial asthma, chronic hepatitis, stiff shoulders, lower back pain, neurodermatitis, chronic hives, tinnitus, dizziness, migraines, and menopausal disorders are also often caused by stress. Do you think this applies to you? Thai traditional massage cannot directly improve these conditions, but a relaxing, relaxing Thai traditional massage by a Thai woman from the Land of Smiles can calm your mind and relieve stress.
It's a misconception that Thai massage is painful!
Thai traditional massage stretches muscles and joints that are not normally used. It is also performed at a very slow rhythm that is in sync with your heartbeat. There are almost no treatments that apply excessive pressure. The stretches may seem painful, but they are like flexibility exercises and are done very slowly. If your body is stiff and the stretching is painful, the stretching will be done with more effort. Above all, it is ideal for your body to be stretched without feeling any pain. Stretch to loosen up your body.
Thai Stretch Massage
The stretching effect of Thai traditional massage
1. Effective against stiff shoulders and back pain. Many of the causes of stiff shoulders and back pain are due to certain muscles becoming stiff and poor posture. Stretching can soften stiff muscles and make it easier to maintain balance. It is also said to have a preventive effect.
2. Less likely to get injured If your body is stiff, you are more likely to be unable to move quickly and get injured. Stretching will soften your muscles and make your body easier to move.
3. Increased exercise effectiveness Even with similar exercise, if your body is flexible, you can move your joints more, which is said to consume more energy. It is also said to have a training effect.
4. Has a relaxing effect It is said that stretching increases alpha waves, decreases the heart rate, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which leads to a state of relaxation in the body.
5. Improved sleep By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, it becomes easier to fall asleep and the quality of your sleep improves.
6. Improves recovery from fatigue It is said that stretching improves blood flow and helps recover from fatigue. It is also said that stretching has the effect of reducing muscle fatigue.
The stretches used in Thai traditional massage have various effects. If you stretch on a daily basis, not just when you receive a massage, the effect will be even greater. When I have time, I try to stretch myself. When I do this, I pay attention to the three things I learned from a practicing therapist.
1. Don't stretch too much
2. Be aware of the areas that are stretching
3. Be aware of your breathing
One thing I pay particular attention to is breathing. By breathing as slowly as possible, you can avoid overstretching and be aware of the parts of your body that are stretching.
Of course, it is said that being conscious of your breathing while receiving a Thai traditional massage will increase the effectiveness of the massage. Please try to be conscious of your breathing while receiving a massage.
Introducing symptoms caused by postureBut before that, it's important to know about your own posture. It is said that posture, in other words misaligned joints, can lead to faster aging. We will introduce each posture, so even if you're fine now, please be careful if any of them apply to you. Postures that are likely to cause back pain Posture in which the lower back is arched and the buttocks are sticking out. At first glance, this may seem like good posture because the spine is not rounded, but because it is arched too much, it is likely to cause back pain. This is common in people with weak lower abdominal muscles. Postures that are likely to cause stiff shoulders and neck
A posture where the shoulder joints are hunched forward. The head and chin are also jutting forward, which leads to chronic shoulder and neck stiffness. This is common among people with weak back muscles, especially those who work at a desk. Postures that make you prone to falling: The shoulder joints are displaced forward, the pelvis tilts backward, and the hip joints are forward. The hip joints become stiff, making it easy to stumble over small steps. This is common among people with weak abdominal and back muscles. Postures that make you prone to weight gain: The shoulder joints are displaced forward, the waist is bent, and the knee joints are also bent. The basal metabolism drops, making it easy to gain weight, getting tired easily even with a little movement, and chronic pain all over the body. This is common among people with overall muscle loss. As muscle weakens, posture deteriorates. Just understanding this makes a big difference. Just by trying to maintain your muscles and being conscious of your posture, chronic pain can be alleviated.
