Thai massage - Yoga meets acupressure

Thai- Massages are so to speak Passive Yoga. The "dislocations" that your therapist makes with you are derived from yoga.

Essential massage forms are based on anatomy, whereas Thai massage is based on the energy lines running in the body. As a classical Asian healing method, it regards the human being in its entirety of body, mind and soul. It also activates certain pressure points that affect different organs and parts of your body. This is why Thai massage does wonders not only on back pain and tension, but on many other ailments, from migraines to sleep disorders to constipation. If you massage yourself regularly, you will also notice that your body and your mobility improve.

Meditation is not(!) doing nothing

Massage your Brain and Head - Headspace app

Meditation should lure us from our everyday life and bring to rest - that just an app should help, sounds amazing. And yet an Englishman who lived as a monk in Tibet has great success with it.

...without trust and sympathy nothing is going to work

boy-and-girl.web.jpg
In many types of massage the body contact between you and the massage therapist is extremely tight... this needs trust and symphaty.
Therefore look closely at the salon before. Among other things, a professional studio recognizes that masseurs have recognized certificates, that they value privacy and that hygiene and cleanliness play an important role.
Talk to the therapists, let them show you everything and then decide if you feel good. Because only then you can really relax and do something good for you and your body.

If you've been chilly

Your posture changes in the winter when it gets cold, because you hunch up your shoulders to your ears. It’s instinct. During those months, chances are you come to us carrying stress on top of your shoulders and around the neck, and we know why.

When your job is taking a physical toll

Sometimes we see house painters who have predictable indents on both of their shins from leaning against a ladder eight hours a day. Another example: dentists. They have to work in a crooked position all day, so they typically carry their stress on the side of the table they work from.

If you traveled recently

We’re a touch-phobic society. If you spent hours in an airplane, especially with a seatmate who took from your space, you likely sat on only one of your glute muscles and curled yourself away. Your strained spots will have a twisted pattern, caused by a lot of pressure on one side. Likewise, if you have significant stress in your neck, we’ll guess you fell asleep without a pillow, likely hanging your head for hours.

If you're dehydrated

We can always tell if you haven’t been keeping up with your daily eight glasses of water. Trigger points in the upper back will be more tender when you’re dehydrated. Drink up, especially on massage day.

That you're a textaholic

If we rub your shoulders, and you tell us it hurts or it’s tight, we wonder how much you’ve been texting. It’s easy to forget how long you hold your head in that downward position, but be sure to look up and stretch every so often, because that prolonged posture will cost you dysfunction and imbalance in the shoulders.
