Thai Yoga Massage

Traditional Thai Yoga Massage is both preventive and therapeutic. It can help prevent illness, improve the immune system, increase energy and reduce stress. It can also be used to treat headaches, back pain, and stiffness in the shoulders and neck. It is a holistic treatment that restores vital energy and helps balance our mental and emotional wellbeing. It utilises acupressure and stretching - the acupressure is applied with fingers, hands, feet, elbows and knees along the energy lines of the body. The passive stretching increases the receiver’s flexibility - keeping the body supple and toned.  The whole practice works on the mind as much as the body and can be a moving meditation for both the therapist and the receiver. The massage takes place on a mat and lasts between 1 - 2 hours. No oils are used and the receiver always remains fully clothed.  There are a wide range of benefits from traditional Thai Yoga Massage which helps maintain optimum health. Regular treatment stimulates and strengthens the nervous, respiratory, circulatory, digestive and immune systems. It can also reduce stress, tension and insomnia while boosting energy levels and improving flexibility, posture, digestion, and self-esteem. Often a deep sense of calm and peace is experienced during and after a treatment.
