WHAT IS THAI
YOGA MASSAGE?
Traditional Thai Yoga massage is an ancient form of therapeutic healing. Its
roots are in India from where it was brought to Thailand over 2000 years ago
by Ayurvedic doctors and Buddhist monks. It combines acupressure, energy
balancing, stretching and applied yoga exercises. Traditional Thai Yoga
massage is a unique and powerful massage therapy. As well as improving
flexibility, relaxation and energy levels, a massage can relieve headaches,
asthma, constipation, and frozen shoulders, improve flexibility for sports
people, help recovery after a heart attack or stroke, provide exercise for
the disabled - to mention only a few possibilities. Thai Yoga massage
therapists are in demand for working with performance athletes, the
disabled, stroke victims, and people wanting to reduce stress and improve
energy levels.

How does it work?
The masseur uses hands, feet, elbows
and knees to apply pressure along the energy lines of the body. This
combined with gentle stretching and assisted yoga postures.
It is therefore, far deeper and more effective at realigning the body than a
‘skin-deep’ massage. Clients have noticed an overall increase in
relaxation (both physical and mental), improved balance, greater flexibility
and less aches and pains.
Are there any risks?
Thai massage is normally suitable for everyone,
including the young and the very elderly. However, it should be avoided
if you have osteoporosis, spinal fusions or phlebitis. If you
have high blood pressure or heart problems, talk to your doctor before
booking a treatment.
