Traditional Thai Massage
Traditional Thai Massage has always been a must-try on the list when you visit Thailand. The massage focuses on stretching and massaging deep tissues using a little more than usual pressure along the meridian lines of the body to ease muscle and joint tension. As this procedure requires a firm grip and is a more intense form, no oil will be used.
The procedure focuses on muscles stretching and applying pressures to specific points without using oil. This helps to release body tension and at the same time increases vitality and supports better flexibility. Moreover, the massage provides overall wellness by helping in releasing of toxins, stimulating blood flow, body realigning, and restoring suppleness.
Reflexology Foot Massage
Reflexology Foot Massage is a well-known procedure that helps to relax especially after a long day of activities when the feet feel swelled up. Other than that, foot massage is strongly claimed to greatly improve circulation in the extremities, which means it is particularly important for people suffering from diabetes.
Reflexology Foot massage has a natural healing property and positive effects on depression, anxiety, headaches, and migraines. Frequent sessions have been shown to reduce anxiety in cancer patients significantly. Moreover, for the ones with high blood pressure caused by stress and an unhealthy diet, a foot massage session up to 3 times a week can result in improved mood as well as lower blood pressure.
Thai Herbal Ball Massage
Thai Herbal Ball Massage, also known as herbal compress therapy, involves using the steamed herbal pouches called Lok Pra Kop in Thai to gently patch all over the body.
Lok Pra Kop is a combination of herbs (lemongrass, cumin, lemon, salt, turmeric, etc.) wrapped into a ball shape using a natural cotton bag. It has been widely used since ancient times and is believed to give your energy levels a boost.
