Thai Massage Session in Mendham, New Jersey

Item Number: 264
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Based on ancient Traditional Thai Massage, this form of bodywork involves manipulation using stretching techniques and gentle pressure along the meridians or energy lines of the body. Thai massage is carried out on a cushioned mat on the floor. The practitioner uses their hands and feet to apply pressure to the client's fully-clothed body and to carry out a range of gentle stretching movements similar to yoga postures, which facilitates the flow of energy throughout the body as well as increasing flexibility. This makes Thai massage a more interactive and engaged session than the average western massage. Thai massage helps to relieve tension within the body and can be effectively used for pain relief. It improves the function of the lymph glands and blood circulation, balances the nervous system and clears out blocked and stagnant energy. It is appropriate for a range of musculoskeletal problems including back, neck, shoulder, hip and leg pain. The session lasts 90 minutes and takes place in the donor's Mendham home studio.
