If you want to melt into some precious relaxation time or just de-stress, even fall asleep,then choose a Swedish massage. Here at this renowned massage therapy centre in Manchester, we have masseuse qualified and experienced in many different techniques, including Thai massage. As we said it depends on what you want! A recent small survey between clients booking a Thai massage and a Swedish massage and experiencing feelings of tiredness or low energy levelsreported back that both treatments helped them with sleep, stress, and body aches. But it was the Thai massage that gave them a strong energy boost and where they felt more mentally alert after the treatment. It that sounds like what you are looking for then read on …….

Lazy yoga awakening the Sen Lines

At this Manchester massage salon, we find that people choose Thai massage for its unique blend of movement, energy work, and deep stretching. They may have originally experienced Thai massage when on holiday in Thailand where the origins of this massage go back around 2500 years. In comparison to passive table massages, this massageacts as a dynamic therapy for both body and mind by following the sen or energy lines. In a Thai massage you are very much part of the process and this interaction involves the whole mind, body, and energy making it a holistic experience.Our Manchester masseuses who are experienced in Thai massage perform a treatment which combines rhythmic compression along these energy lines with deep, assisted stretching. This therapy is often referred to as “lazy yoga,” or “passive yoga” because of the ways the practitioner moves your body into yoga-like stretches which boost flexibility and blood flow.

Untying the knots and releasing the tightness

The deep, yoga-like stretches used safely lengthen your muscles and aid your mobility and ease of movement, as the muscles become less stiff they in turn allow joint mobilization to be released in tight, rigid areas.At this Manchester massage clinic, the masseuse uses rhythmic pressing movements which enliven the body and clients later say they experience the looked-for energy boost as well as a looser body. This is also the body’s natural response to the increase in blood circulation from the compression, stretching and pumping motionsas the therapist uses hands, thumbs, elbows, knees, feet and even body weight to apply pressure and stretch muscles which bring fresh oxygen to the tissues. Pressure is used directly onto trigger points, commonly referred to as knots along the body’s energy pathways. This breaks the tension cycle inside the contracted muscle fibres.

Rebooting the nervous system with Thai massage

As well as loosening up the body Thai massage is known to reduce stress and anxiety and calm the brain lessening the production of Cortisol. Massage itself is known to reduce Cortisol levels by as much as 25% to 31%, whilst increasing the release of “Happy” Hormones such as serotonin and dopamine in your body. Hormones which naturally suppress cortisol.  Along with mindful breathing during the treatment which calm the nervous system generally.

Targeting posture correction for office workers.

Physically, many clients with posture issues or mild back pain feel relief after a Thai massage as it targets areas that are hard to reach with regular massage. By the stretching of tight muscles and opening the hips, back, and shoulders, this type of massage can help correct body alignment and improve your posture over time. With many clients, a sedentary work life brings imbalances from sitting all day and aligning the limbs helps restore balance and ease pain.

This is an apparently famous outlook, as gold persists to capture the minds, hearts, and spare time of folks of all ages, with all skill levels.
