The Benefits of Thai Massage
Increased range of motion. Thai massage combines compression,acupressure , and passive stretching. These increase the range of motion in your joints and muscles. This can also improve your posture.
Helps with back pain. Thai massage tends to focus on
areas that can contribute to back pain, like the
inner thigh and abdomen. However, if you have constant back pain, it’s best to
visit a doctor before getting any type of massage.
Reduces headache intensity. One study showed that
nine sessions of traditional Thai massage in a 3-week period can reduce painful
headaches
in people who have chronic tension headaches or migraines.
Lowers stress. In another study, researchers showed
that Thai massage reduced stress,
especially when combined with plenty of rest.
Helps stroke patients. A 2012 study suggested that stroke patients who get
Thai massage regularly may be better able to recover the ability to do daily
activities. They may also have lower pain levels and sleep better.
