Nuad Thai - traditional thai massage
|
|
|
The massage is given on a comfortable cotton mat and the receiver wears loose fitting clothes to allow freedom of movement. Thai massage or Nuad Thai has its origins in the Indian healing traditions and combines gentle pressures along the energy lines of the body with twists and stretches that provide a form of applied yoga. The effect is one of both deep relaxation and renewed vitality as stagnant energy is released.
Each stretch is applied to the point that balances the contracted muscles but never further than is comfortable, easing muscles to a relaxed and more flexible state. Thai massage is a great way to increase flexibility and combat the stiffness caused by sedentary or repetitive work. It is particularly beneficial in conjunction with yoga or pilates and for the management and prevention of injuries acquired through regular exercise regimens such as cycling and running.
