What are the amazing effects of authentic Thai traditional massage? Here are some things to be careful of after the treatment

​

Have you ever had an authentic Thai traditional massage? It is a treatment that stretches and presses the body to loosen the whole body, and it really feels refreshing and comfortable after the treatment. If you have never had a treatment before, you may have the image that it is "kind of painful", but if the massage therapist has the correct knowledge, they will not do anything that will cause severe pain.

​

Authentic Thai traditional massage not only loosens the whole muscle, but you can expect various pleasant effects. In this article, we will talk about the effects of authentic Thai traditional massage and the precautions to take after the massage. If you have been worried about stiffness in your body recently, please refer to this article.

​

What is authentic Thai traditional massage?
Authentic Thai traditional massage is, as the name suggests, a massage that originated in Thailand. It is a traditional medicine in which the therapist uses various parts of the body, such as the palms, elbows, and feet, to massage the whole body from head to toe. By actively moving muscles that are not used much in daily life, you can loosen the stiffness of the whole body. It improves blood flow, improves sensitivity to cold, and regulates the autonomic nervous system, providing many benefits to the body. You may imagine it hurts because you stretch and press your body, but it's only a "pleasant pain" so there's no need to worry.

​

Effects of authentic Thai traditional massage
It is said that authentic Thai traditional massage has more than 60 effects, including improving sensitivity to cold, constipation, and loss of appetite, but here are four of the most common effects.

​

Relieves body stiffness
The biggest effect of authentic Thai traditional massage is that it relieves body stiffness. If you don't use your muscles, they will inevitably become stiff, which leads to body stiffness. It moves all the muscles in your body, even muscles that you don't normally use, so you can feel the body is refreshed immediately after the treatment.

​

Flushes waste products from the body
It improves blood and lymph circulation, so you can flush out waste products that have accumulated in your body. If waste products accumulate in the body, the intestinal environment will be disturbed, causing skin problems and a state of "fair fatigue" will continue. Since sleeping will not improve the condition, it is necessary to think about the fundamental solution. Authentic Thai traditional massage is not a localized treatment, but a massage method that can be expected to improve the circulation of blood and lymph throughout the body.

​

Healing effect
You may think that stretching with all your might has a "relaxing effect?", but when the muscles are loosened, you relax and the autonomic nerve balance is restored. When people accumulate stress, not only psychological symptoms such as mental instability and depression appear, but also physical symptoms such as dizziness and loss of appetite. Relaxation brings balance to both the body and mind, so it is important to take time to heal yourself.

​

Body distortion is corrected
In fact, there are very few people who have a beautiful balance between the left and right sides of their body, and many people have a distorted body. Each person has their own habits, and their actions cause the distortion to become larger and larger. Authentic Thai traditional massage can approach the muscles on both sides in a balanced manner, so the balance between the front, back, left and right is improved. However, even if the position is returned to the correct position, the distortion will come back if you continue to live the same lifestyle with the same posture, so you need to receive treatment regularly.

​

Precautions before and after authentic Thai traditional massage

Do not eat immediately before receiving treatment

Have you ever felt sick when playing sports on a full stomach? In authentic Thai traditional massage, the abdomen is also moved well, so make sure to wait at least an hour after eating. After eating, blood is concentrated in the stomach for digestion, but when you receive treatment, blood circulates throughout the body, so digestion is neglected. Therefore, we recommend receiving treatment after the food has been digested to a certain extent (about 30 minutes after eating).

Make stretching after a bath a habit

If you receive treatment even once, you can certainly feel the effect. However, if you do not continue to stretch after that, your muscles will gradually become stiff. In order to maintain the effect, we recommend stretching after a bath when blood flow is good. It may be difficult for people who are not used to stretching to continue, but even if it is just one minute a day, please try your best to continue. In the long run, you will feel that your poor circulation has improved and your physical condition has improved.

​

Summary
It is said that there are about 60 types of effects of authentic Thai traditional massage, and many of them have immediate effects. Those who have never received treatment before may think that it is painful, but once you actually receive it, you will definitely become addicted. It is not completely painless, but it moves muscles that you do not normally use, so after the treatment your whole body will feel warm and you will be able to feel the effects immediately.
