Thai massage is more energizing and rigorous than most other forms of massage therapy. Thai massage is performed on a mat on the floor, with the client in loose comfortable clothing. During your session the practitioner begins at the feet, and works slowly and methodically. The practitioner will use hands, thumbs, elbows, knees and feet, as well as utilizing proper leverage points (body mechanics). During your session time the practitioner leads and assists the client through a range of yoga-like positions and stretches. Additionally, acupressure, joint mobilization and muscle compressions add to the effectiveness of this amazing modality. The session may have you on your back, your side, your stomach and in a seated position. Thai massage has many benefits, both physical and mental/emotional. Many of the benefits include relaxation, stress relief, increased circulation, increased flexibility, and range of motion.
Orthopedic massage with Table Thai stretching is a method of massage therapy focused on treating painful conditions that affect the soft tissues of the body. Because orthopedic massage is designed to treat medical conditions, it requires extensive training. It incorporates many techniques to address muscle tightness and restrictions, along with helping to stretch and lengthen muscles, tendons, and decompress rigid joints. My goal is to restore health to the soft tissues of the body, both treating your specific condition as well as improving your overall well-being.
Sports Massage with Table Thai stretching is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pain and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Additionally, stretching, acupressure, and joint mobilizations add to the effectiveness of this modality. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
