What To Expect From A Traditional Thai Massage In Manchester

 Many clients who have never had a Thai Massage are intrigued about what makes this different from other therapies. The authentic movements and techniques employed by the masseuses go back centuries and this traditional massage draws threads from different cultures in Asia, including India, China and S. E. Asia, on the principles of Ayurveda.  The therapists use compression and movement of the limbs with a series of stretching movements which are compared to a passive form of yoga. During the initial consultation the therapist and client discuss the goals for the client, talking about muscle stiffness, injuries and areas that require special attention, alongside the mental as well as the physical stresses and pressures. Having established the aims of the client, the masseuse begins work and the only thing required from the client is to relax.

The practitioner uses her body to maintain contact at all times with the body they are working on, using not only their hands, but also their feet. Finger and toe joints will be cracked by a controlled, but firm and fast tug and limbs moved into different positions to fully address the full length of the muscle groups. Clients who feel that they are not physically flexible enough for a Thai massage will be pleasantly surprised that they need do virtually nothing at all, it is the skilled practitioner who is doing the heavy bodywork.

For clients who for any reason are not comfortable undressing to their under garments, they are invited to take this style of massage fully clothed, but advised to wear loose clothing to make all movements easier.

It is generally accepted that any type of massage will bring temporary pain relief and a sense of relaxation and general wellbeing, the Thai style of massage is highly rated in all of these areas. Research into Thai Massage shows that as the stretching movements made by the therapist relaxes the body relieving muscle tension and reduces stress and increasing circulation, the energy levels of the client following the massage, increase alongside mental stimulation. This is a treatment with ancient origins, much of which is Buddhist based at What Pho, the epicentre of not only massage but traditional Thai medicine.

At Manchester Massage not only are the therapists who offer the authentic Thai massage highly qualified, but they are consummate professionals, and as such should always be treated with respect and it should be remembered that a massage salon offers nothing above and beyond a pure massage from a highly qualified person.
