Thai massage: do you know its history and benefits?
Have you ever dreamed of being massaged from head to toe, releasing your tensions while staying comfortably clothed? Thai massage, also called “nuad bo rarn”, could be just what you need. Originating from India, with influences from Buddhism, Ayurveda, and traditional Chinese medicine, this technique has traveled more than 2,500 years of history to come to us. Imagine yourself lying on a futon, fully clothed, and prepared for a journey where stretches, pressures, and percussions combine to bring your body back to life.
What is Thai massage?
Thai massage is often compared to a guided yoga session. Indeed, the practitioner uses their hands, arms, and even feet to help you perform fluid stretches. These movements are based on yoga postures and aim to make your joints more flexible. And don’t worry, even the stiffest among us end up feeling this pleasant sensation of relaxation!
A work on the body’s energies
Beyond the stretches, Thai massage integrates massage and pressure techniques. These gestures target specific energy lines, often called meridians. And here, one might say: “But why energy lines?”, well, the idea is that by freeing these paths, one promotes a better circulation of vital energy in the body.
The benefits of Thai massage
Let’s get to the essential, what can this massage bring me? That’s where the magic happens. First, it improves blood and lymphatic circulation. You may have already felt a bit numb after sitting too long. This massage literally energizes your internal circuits.
Elimination of toxins and tensions
Another significant advantage, it helps eliminate toxins. Yes, yes, you read that right. Through deep breathing and precise movements, you give your body the ability to get rid of unwanted waste. And for athletes, or those feeling their muscles tense like a bow, Thai massage is a precious ally to loosen those stubborn knots.
Opening the rib cage and improving flexibility
Do you find it difficult to just bend down to touch your toes? Thanks to this massage, your mobility and flexibility can only improve. It also opens your rib cage, making your breathing deeper and more relaxing. Finally, for those among you who know lower back pain, this massage can offer appreciable relief.
A global approach to well-being
For me, every massage starts with a moment of recentration. Being attentive to your needs is essential so that each session is fully satisfying. Ending with Tibetan bowls and Koshi chimes, I harmonize your cells and promise you an even deeper relaxation.
Of course, before each session, a verbal assessment is necessary to ensure there are no contraindications. How about letting yourself be tempted by this balancing experience? Consider making an appointment for a moment just for you, and remember, this massage is not therapeutic, but it could very well be the wellness break you exactly need.
