Thai Stretching – is one of the highest levels of Thai massage. It has a significant beneficial effect on the entire body of the patient and specifically on the musculoskeletal system.
Even a couple of hours of such massage significantly facilitates the general condition of a person, improves joint mobility, increases the amplitude of movements, provides a surge of energy and improvement in mood.
The Essence of Thai Stretching
The essence of the massage is to perform a special complex of successive stretches and twists. Exercises are combined with a deep, detailed study of all muscles, ligaments and tendons.
In parallel, active stimulation of lymph and blood is performed, which allows you to efficiently and quickly remove toxins that accumulate in the soft tissues of the body after performing physical exertion or in the process of “stagnation” of the muscles. All movements are carried out smoothly, slowly, providing not only a healing, but also a relaxing effect.
Combinations of Techniques in Thai Stretching
Thai Stretching involves the combined use of yoga techniques and Ayurvedic massage. The twists and stretches used in stretching are similar to Yoga Asanas, but have a more gentle character. The load (intensity of movements) is selected individually by the massage therapist, based on the condition and well-being of the patient.
