Thai massage is essentially “an Eastern style of massage with a long list of health benefits,” says Charles Sharp, LMT. He adds that health is “a progressive movement towards physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, also known as balance.”
Thai bodywork takes place on a mat with the person receiving the treatment fully clothed. The receiver will be positioned four ways: face up, face down, on their side, and sitting up. In these four body placements, a series of muscle press and stretch techniques is applied to facilitate a more relaxed muscle state, which means decreasing one’s overall stress buildup. This work alleviates tightness in common problem areas, including the pelvis, back, knees and neck. As a result, one’s body becomes much more flexible, and the range of motion exponentially increases.
Thai massage also has a very cleansing effect on the body’s blood system. Circulatory technique, or artery compression, detoxifies areas of the body that, due to gravity, have a hard time getting rid of the bad stuff. In addition, this work stimulates receptors in one’s circulatory system and then messages the receptors to minimize the workload on the heart.
Touch is the only way a person can maintain a normal plane of existence. Touch will allow a person to console, let go, or just feel good about their experiences in life. Prolonged touch in Thai massage is simply revitalizing.

Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for rookie blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

I’m wondering if you have noticed how the media has changed? Now it seems that it is discussed thoroughly and more in depth. Frankly it is about time we see a change.
