Body massage, see the benefits. It is a technique of manipulation and pressure on the body's soft tissues such as muscles, tendons and ligaments, with the aim of relaxing, relieving tension and stimulating circulation. During the session, the therapist uses massage techniques that include pressure, kneading, gliding, gliding with pressure, percussion, vibration and mobilization.

Body massage can help relieve muscle pain, anxiety, tension, stress, fatigue, digestive problems, high blood pressure, poor circulation, back pain and more. Furthermore, body massage can also be beneficial for mental health, as it provides relaxation, well-being and tranquility.

Any massage, be it sports therapy or Ayurvedic spa, affects four systems of a body. Namely:

All four are connected. The skillful movement of a masseuse's hands creates the first, i.e. physical, effect which in turn triggers the other three. With each blow, friction, tightening or compression of the skin, the muscles below undergo neurological, functional or psychological changes.

The body's response to massage therapy depends on the type of movement, that is, the technique and time in which it is performed. The depth, speed, frequency and part of the body that is massaged also determine the extent of the benefits. First, let's take a look at the physical reactions to a massage.

The muscles in a body have a lot of flexibility. They can extend and contract to a significant degree. It is the connecting tissue around them that limits movement. One way to increase the extensibility of connective tissue is through massage.

Continuous kneading or twisting can loosen (in addition to stretching) the tissues that are present near the muscles. Additionally, rigorous movements increase blood circulation in the area and heat it, making the tissue flexible.

The range of motion in a body's joints increases because the muscles are relaxed.

Swelling that occurred due to leakage of blood or other fluids from vessels and capillaries can be reduced. Massage stimulates the flow of lymph and increases the temperature of soft tissues, causing the reabsorption of leaked fluid and therefore reducing swelling.

Any muscle that is holding tension can be relieved by the action of a massage. Movement stimulates receptors present in nerve endings, which can result in muscle relaxation or contraction. The effect is reflexive, that is, it happens automatically in the muscles because of the massage.

Before delving into the psychological advantages of massage, one thing must be clear. Biological or physiological results are deeply related to the mental effects of therapy.

When your muscles relax, your brain reaches a calmer state. The reverse also applies. When psychological feedback tells you to release tension in the mind, the muscles in the body also relax.

Pain relief: A massage reduces muscle tension, which reduces pressure on nerve endings, leading to reduced pain. As some of the pain subsides, the perception of it is also altered, which reduces it even further.

The cycle keeps repeating itself. Therefore, you can always treat injuries in athletes and speed up rehabilitation with sports therapy.

Anxiety: The physical relaxation of the body and the relief of pain, consequently, eliminate the anxiety that the body contains.

The effects of a Thai massage are not limited to the brain and physical body. Internal biological functions also achieve positive results. Therefore, when massages are done with pressure and depth, they compress and release the blood vessels, increasing blood circulation.

Even the lymphatic flow to the heart can be intensified with prolonged massages on specific areas of the body. Two techniques by which lymph can be stimulated to flow to the extremities of the body are kneading and deep stroking.

When blood flow increases in the body, the oxygen available to soft tissues also increases with the accessibility of nutrients. When lymphatic flow increases, the body's ability to remove waste from the lymphatic system also increases.

This results in dilation of blood vessels which leads to more blood circulation, higher temperature, increased elasticity of muscles, better delivery of oxygen and nutrients.

The last benefit of massage is neurological. Therefore, through certain movements, a massage therapist can induce reflex actions in the body. Therefore, these actions have a sedative effect. One of these movements is rubbing a painful area.

The movement stimulated the nerve endings in the area that send the signal to stop the sensation of pain. This happens by blocking the transmission of signals to the spinal cord. In simple terms, a massage reduces pain in the body by affecting the nervous system.

The essence is that massages of different types can be used to reduce pain, eliminate anxiety, stimulate blood and oxygen flow. It can also be used to reduce swelling and increase range of motion.

Excellent body therapy can bring you to a relaxed state or make you more active. Therefore, what the effect of a massage should be is decided by the person's physical and mental needs.

A massage should be a pleasant experience that leads to positive results, it delivers on this promise. Therefore, we are one of the few places in the country certified to provide traditional therapy and Thai body massage.
