It is a type of manual therapy that is used to treat pain and muscle tightness. It is a technique that involves gradually pushing fingers onto key places on the body to simulate pain relief and muscle relaxation. It is used to treat trigger points in muscles and soft tissues.
Thai therapy has many benefits for the human body and mind. It helps release muscular tension by applying maximal pressure to tense muscles to promote maximal relaxation. It is also a beneficial massage technique to decrease pain and speed up recovery from illness or injury.
The practitioners apply pressure to acupoints on the body's channels using their fingers, palms, elbows, or feet, or with special instruments. It may also include stretching or acupuncture massage, among other things. During a session, you lie down completely clothed on a comfortable massage table.
Massaging points can be done using the following steps:
1. First, you need to identify the pressure point 2. Find a comfortable position either sitting or lying 3. Apply firm but gentle pressure using your fingers, thumbs or knuckles 4. Start making small circular motions for 1-2 minutes on that point 5. Focus on your breathing and try to relax your body 6. If you feel any discomfort or pain, stop the massage and consult a professional
To use this massage:
1. Locate the pressure points on your body 2. Apply gentle pressure on that points 3. Use circular motions to massage the points 4. Breathe deeply and relax 5. Repeat the process slowly until you feel comfort
