What clothing is appropriate for Traditional Thai Massage?
In order to receive a Thai massage in the most appropriate way, it is necessary that you present yourself with comfortable, soft clothes and natural fabric, such as cotton or wool.
How does the Thai massage take place?
It begins by initiating a dialogue with you, where I understand your conditions and your goals.
Following is the Thai Massage which will be carried out in relation to a non-osteopathic postural assessment (there is no need to undress and I will not perform postural tests or observation of details).
The treatment starts strictly from the feet and legs.
Since it is very intense to start from the back, it would be a mistake!
You must get there by warming up the leg muscles, which are part of muscle chains that reach up to the back.
What are the contraindications of Thai massage?
The Thai Massage must be done with caution, prudence, and maximum attention, as there are demanding movements, both for the operator and for the recipient, such as large stretches.
The contraindications are as follows:
- Fever
- Degenerative diseases (unless there is a doctor’s prescription)
- Unhealed bone fractures
- Menses
- Pregnancy
- Advanced age that does not allow intense sporting activity
How long does a Thai treatment last?
Traditional Thai Massage lasts an hour or an hour and a half.
How often can you receive a Thai massage?
The frequency to enjoy a Traditional Thai Massage is your choice.
The general correct indication is once a week, precisely because these are first limbs for Personal Care and not of the symptom and therefore Health Prevention.
Where there are both acute and chronic symptoms it is certainly useful to come with a certain frequency.
Otherwise, at your discretion, you can come to the office for occasional symptomatic treatments, even if less effective, given the philosophy and function of these Unconventional Therapies.
