Thai Massage in Chinchwad
Thai massage employs a combination of acupressure, deep compressions and passive yoga-like stretching. Unlike its Western counterpart, Thai massage is practiced on a mat on the floor and the client is fully clothed in loose or stretchy, comfortable attire. Generally, no oil or cream is used, although sometimes herbal compresses or salves may be applied.
One of the reasons the popularity of Thai massage has spiked in recent years is the wide range of benefits that seems to be unique to this technique. Clients are reporting fast, effective and lasting results..
Some other forms of massage invoke a parasympathetic relaxation response, leaving the client feeling like they just woke up from a deep sleep at the end of the massage. While that is wonderful and has numerous benefits, Thai massage seems to have a more energizing effect on the nervous system. A focus on restoring movement in the Sen lines combined with the joint mobilization resulting from the passive stretching leaves the client feeling calm, yet alert and energized.
