Thai Massage – A Unique Blend Of Techniques

 

At this Manchester massage salon, we are fortunate to have several therapists who are experienced in giving a Thai Massage. As it is a completely different type of treatment to other massages we have available, you may be looking for some insights into what a Thai massage might be like for you. Recognized as an alternative medical treatment by many in Thailand,Thai massage studies outside of its country of origin, have found this treatment to have clinical benefits.These include improvements to pain and discomfort, joint mobility, and muscle stiffness, furthermore itcan help relax not only the body but also mind.

What you can expect during a Thai massage

In simple terms it is a blend of stretching and acupressure designed to increase your flexibility and resolve any joint and soft tissue tension that may have built up in your body. The treatment is interactive as the therapist uses a variety of techniques which include gentle body manipulation on the client, and it is easy to understand why this is often called “lazy yoga”! Your Manchester Thai masseuse at this Northern Quarter massage salon may have been trained in the UK, or at a traditional school of  Thai therapy, depending on who you see. Your masseuse will use hands, knees, legs, and feet to move your body, utilising their body weight. At all times during these yoga stretches the therapists constantly aware of your individual flexibility levels, and only uses stretches within the comfort zones of your muscles and joints.

The beliefs behind the Thai Massage

Thai massage has comparable characteristics to some more familiar Western massage techniques such as a deep tissue massage, for example the masseuses using their hands to loosen up tight muscles and release knots.The traditional Thai massage is based on the understanding of the human body having 10 main energy lines. These are known as Sen lines. Energy travels and is transmitted within the body along these lines and should the flow of this energy become blocked, either through illness or trauma, there will be a subsequent body dysfunction which results in pain or discomfort.The Thai therapist at this popular massage centre Manchester clients claim to be the best in the city,will use pressure points located on the Sen lines focussing on opening up and releasing energy.

Considerations for some clients

Some who have not experienced a Thai massage may feel a little apprehensive about a different type of treatment, but every massage is tailored to fall within your limits and whilst it may be deep that does not equate as painful, and you are reminded to always communicate with your therapist.Thai massage is generally considered to be safe, and many massage clients visiting Manchester Massage have already experienced this form of treatment on holiday in Thailand, but it should be born  in mind that it may not be suitable for everyone. It is important to confirm with a healthcare provider before booking a Thai massage if you have any underlying health conditions.

Why Swedish Massage Is The Best In All Massage?

In Sweden this type of massage is known as the classic massage and in many ways it is the type of generic therapy people envisage   when they think of massage.  It is often the best option to start off with if when you first visit a spa or massage studio.  It is certainly by many considered the best introduction to massage therapy as it is a more gentle relaxing soothing type of massage compared to deep tissue and the deep kneading deeper tissue massages of the east such as a traditional Chinese massage , Japanese Shiatsu  and the Thai massage, which often challenges you flexibility.   If you are not looking for a massage to tackle a particular pain issue or chronic pain and you are looking for a general all purpose massage for that feel good factor, something for relaxations, stress relief and the generally ease away those aches and pains you pick up during your day to day life, then the all purpose Swedish massage could prove to be the one for you. ...
