Benefits
Thai Massage supports conditions such as:
-
headache
-
knee pain
-
back, shoulder and neck pain
-
premenstrual tension
-
stress
-
tiredness and exhaustion
The treatment can be very effective in improving flexibility, promoting relaxation, restoring and revitalising the body from general aches and pains. Its uplifting effects can last for several days. It's a treatment for every body type. You don't have to be flexible or athletic to receive it, in fact the yoga-based stretches are only secondary and they are tailored to each body.
1 to 2 hours sessions are available.
What is Thai Massage?
Thai Massage is one of the main branches of traditional Thai medicine. It is based on an energy line system, the ten Sen, through which the body's natural life force is believed to flow. The therapist uses his/her hands, feet and elbows to apply pressure to key points on the Sen lines, together with gentle stretching and applied Hatha Yoga. This releases blockages and treats a variety of ailments.
Thai Massage can be described as a moving meditation, just like certain forms of yoga. It is a healing modality based on the movement, or re-balancing of the body's intensities (as I like to call them).
I talk about Thai massage in this video for Yogahome.
Massage testimonials
Very nice! Feeling 'aligned' in my body, my back feels much less tense. Emanuela applied just the right amount of pressure when needed. (Kristina, Marketing Professional)
I feel rejuvenated and well balanced. It feels like there's more space in my body. Emanuela was a very natural and friendly practitioner. (Rosie, Yoga Teacher)
I have had a viral illness a few days ago and the massage has really helped my body which was feeling very sore and achy. Emanuela was very in tune with me and responsive and tailored the treatment to include a gentle abdomen massage. I feel very relaxed and calm and my body feels in balance again. (Jennifer, Artist)
There was more stretching of the feet which are usually not given a lot of attention. I feel more energised and more relaxed in the back and neck, and ready to exercise! (Michael, Trading)
I felt Emanuela's touch was firm, confident, but also very gentle and careful. I felt safe, cared after, and very relaxed. She listened to my feedback when I spoke + stretched me just to the right capacity. (Scarlett, Yoga Teacher)
