What happens during a Thai yoga massage?
Treatment is carried out on a comfortable padded floor mat and is given through clothing. Traditionally no oils are used. During the massage the practitioner will warm the muscles and joints and gently apply yoga based postures and stretches. All of the stretches are applied accordingly to your range of movement and flexibility – never will your body be forced into a stretch or posture which is unsuitable, uncomfortable or uneasy to achieve! The hands, feet, knees and elbows are used to apply deep pressure to muscles and nerves which help release any stress or tension. Acupressure points are engaged to enhance wellbeing and help with certain ailments. Pressure points can be slightly tender and are often referred to as a ‘good pain’. Near the end of a treatment, a face and head massage will induce an even deeper state of relaxation allowing the body to completely let go of any tension and clears our mind, becoming calm and still.
