Benefits of Thai Massage
1. Increased range of motion: Thai massage combines compression, acupressure, and passive stretching. These increase the range of motion in your joints and muscles. This can also improve your posture.
2. Lowers stress:In another study, researchers showed that Thai massage reduced stress, especially when combined with plenty of rest.
3. Helps stroke patients: A 2012 study suggested that stroke patients who get Thai massage regularly may be better able to recover the ability to do daily activities. They may also have lower pain levels and sleep better.
