Thai massage uses techniques such as compressions, palm pressing, acupressure and involves amazing yoga-like stretching techniques to help relax the whole body. The gradual, gentle stretching will enhance the person’s flexibility over time, allowing a greater range of motion. Thai massage may also improve the circulation of the fluid in the joints, or synovial fluid, which reduces friction between the joints. This can improve joint mobility and range of motion.This is an ancient healing practice that originated in India. It dates back to around 2,500–7,000 years ago. The technique is very different from what you may be accustomed to. The client wears comfortable clothing, no massage oils are used, client lies on the floor on a comfortable mat and participates more actively in the massage.
