“Seven years ago I had my first of many surgeries. Since then I have been fighting, trying to ease the pain. A lifetime of sports had taken it’s toll. I fully understood that my career was over, but was not prepared for the effects on the other parts of my life as I struggled to adjust to the life of a retired athlete. I have seen the best doctors in the world and nothing has helped as much as Shanell and her blessed hands. Reiki, and body work are gifts from above! They have allowed me to live like I did 10 years ago…dancing and running are back on the agenda! Thank you Shanell!!” -Thai Yoga, Reiki, and private yoga client
What is Thai massage?
Thai massage is also called Thai-Yoga because it is rooted in yoga. Thai massage is like having yoga done to you.
Like massage, Thai massage is performed by a practitioner onto a recipient. The client passively receives a series of stretches and compressions.
Like yoga, a session involves a series of dynamic stretches. Like stretches or postures in yoga (asanas), many muscles are stretched simultaneously.
And the stretches tend to be multi-planar. This means each stretch moves the muscles in more than just one direction. Multi-planar stretches prepare the muscle better for everyday activities than do stretches that are isolating or uni-directional.
The most notable effects of the treatment sequence include:
* Stretching tight muscles
* Loosening stiff joints, and
* Improving energy circulation.
The treatment improves energy circulation by loosening muscles that commonly tighten and restrict the flow of blood, nerves, oxygen, and other vital energy. In many Eastern health practices, this focus is called clearing chakras. By clearing all of the body’s major chakras, vital energy flow is restored throughout the body.
